Australian Gambling

He may have never played an AFL match, but Orren Stephenson looks to be the punters choice in this year’s Super Coach season, moving from $126 into $13 to be the most selected player before the round 1 lockout with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Australian Gambling Sites

Welcome to AustralianGambling.com.au - This site has been specifcially built for Australians, and we pride ourselves on being able to fill a huge void in the market. International gambling sites don't know what we want, they don't mention if Aussies are allowed to play, if we can play in AUD. That's where we come in.

We have personally gambled for real money at every gambling site listed on here. Having over a decade of experience in the online gambling industry, we feel we have a lot to offer both casual Australian punters, and the more serious grinder.

I (Nick) have owned a thoroughbred and a trotter. The racehorse was going around in Brisbane, trained by Darryl Hansen. The pacer was trained by an old friend in Adelaide, and went around at Globe Derby. Neither of them were world beaters (they each won a race), and I don’t own them anymore, but I’m looking to get back in the game soon.

Kevin is a greyhound trainer in Melbourne, and a serial punter. He’s a member of MENSA so he definitely understands the more hardcore gambling concepts. Between us we have a wealth of experience, having gone to conferences in Las Vegas, met with bookmakers in Sydney and Melbourne - we are in at ground level with these Australian bookmakers and Aussie online casinos.

Best Sports Betting Sites for Australians

This is a pretty tough question. What is the sports betting site for Australians? Short answer; it depends. If live betting, mobile betting, NRL betting, A-league betting, AFL betting - the answer I give you will change.

Do you want the best bookmaker bonus? A Centrebet promo code that gives you a $200 free bet? Chances are if you are chasing something like that, you are a casual punter. Maybe you like to bet on the teams you follow, maybe you win your local footy tipping comp, or fantasy football league.

The more hardcore Australian sports bettors will be looking for competitive odds, betting lines, point spread movements, latest trends and betting data. We’ll have all the before the 2012 NRL betting season, and before AFL betting 2012 begins.

In the near future we will have extensive international sportsbook reviews for those that like to bet on overseas sports and leagues. Some of these bookies also allow you to bet on Australian sports. Overseas bookmakers are usually a better option for NFL betting, NBA betting, EPL betting and the major international games. Think about how many competitive bookmakers there are in the world vs here in oz. In Australia, I strongly believe there are only three top bookies, Sportingbet, Centrebet and Sportsbet. Stay away from the TAB.

Buy Lotto Tickets Online

It really isn’t difficult at all to buy online lotto tickets. It’s as simple as registering an account with OzLotteries and then logging in there whenever you want to buy lottery tickets online in Australia.

Play Keno Online

Yes that’s right, you can play Online Keno. But you might be surprised, it’s not the same as you will find at your local pub or RSL club. Usually real money online Keno can be found at online casinos like Royal Vegas.

When I went to Las Vegas in 2010 there were a ton of “Keno” pokies. Basically you sit at the machine, punch in your numbers and watch the draw. It works similar in concept to our pub version, but feels more like playing the pokies. I think online Keno is more like bingo online.

Australian Online Casinos

Let’s get this out of the way right now, there are no “Australian Online Casinos.” There used to be back when Lasseters was around, but not anymore. Usually a casino will have a “skin” that will be marketed at Australian online casino players. It uses the same software like Rival, Playtech or others, but just has a different interface.

That being said, I’ve met with the team from Royal Vegas Casino personally. I am very diligent when choosing an online casino to promote, hence why you only currently see one offered here. They are by far the best option currently available for Aussies to play in real money AUD online. They accept Australian banking options for gambling like Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB. Cashout times are quick, and they don’t have a shred of complaints against them in terms of trust.
