Promotions
Sportingbet has developed a huge client base over the years and their promotions must have played some part in this customer loyalty. Their current sign up promotion is a 100% matched bonus on your first deposit up to $200. But the promotions are also readily available for existing customers who will benefit from frequent offers such as a 50% bonus on your winnings and losing bets refunded.

Platform
As mentioned the site is easily navigable. The simplicity does not detract from the quality of the site and makes it simple for users to find the market they are looking for without venturing down countless dead ends. They do provide form guides and statistics for the vast majority of events that they offer betting on but it isn’t exhaustive and isn’t the easiest to locate. For the sports that do have statistics provided the figures go back around 10 years, so unless you’re attempting to create a sophisticated system using them, they are more than adequate. Without writing an essay on the topic, it’s hard to do justice to the range of markets covered by Sportingbet, it is extensive to say the least and includes political elections, entertainment and surfing among others. For any issues that you may have with Sportingbet, they provide email, phone and live help assistance.
Odds
The odds provided will come in decimal format and are competitive without being exceptional; this is, however, a general statement and is not accurate for all markets that Sportingbet Australia offers. For example, in betting on horse racing, users get the advantage of Sportingbet’s Maxidiv product which offers the best of the three main totes. This means that you will always get the best payout possible should your bet come in. With Sportingbet, this service is available on more meetings than similar products provided by their competitors. Users can benefit from Maxidiv everyday for all metropolitan horse racing taking place in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Mobile Betting
The Sportingbet mobile app is extremely comprehensive, allowing for all types of bet offered on the main site including win, place, quinella, exacta, trifecta, first four, getoutski, jockey challenge and up to 12 leg multis. There is full integration with the Sportingbet website with automatic highlighting of your black books and favourites, including the option to set your own automatic refresh time for markets. Users can deposit and withdraw through the mobile app, which also retains the search feature from the website allowing users to go straight to the runner, trainer or jockey they are looking for. It is available as an app on iPhone, iPad, Android and through a browser for access to their mobile site.
