Who We Are

Over the years, as our website has grown, our team of tipsters and gambling experts has also grown. Our team is filled with betting experts from right across the country and individuals who have a true passion for sports and racing.

We’ve seen the Australian gambling industry change so much in this time and we have in-depth knowledge that we want to pass on to you. We believe that if you have all the information at your fingertips, you’ll be more profitable in the end.

What We Do At MyBettingAustralia

There are two key areas that we focus on at MyBettingAustralia. Firstly, we provide sports and racing tips, covering all the key sports that we Aussies love, plus all the major racing events happening each year. Secondly, we also offer betting-related information like bookmaker reviews, betting sites by sport, betting apps, betting bonuses and more.

Our bookmaker reviews are a major part of what we offer and our experts take the time to sign up and bet with each bookie they review (if they haven’t already), to provide first-hand experience. We also continually update our bookmaker reviews to ensure they are among the most accurate in the market.

We understand choosing a new betting site can be difficult, especially in the saturated Australian market. So, we evaluate each bookmaker on several different criteria, equipping you with all the information you need to make the best decision for you. We want you to have the most enjoyable and responsible gambling experience possible.

Our values are something we take very seriously at MyBettingAustralia and with every piece of content on our website, we always ensure it meets the values of our business. We strive to put you at the forefront of every decision we make.

The gambling industry in Australia never stays still. We work hard to build trust with our audience by always staying up-to-date with the latest happenings in the industry. This allows us to create more reliable and accurate information.

Meet Our team:

Matt was born in Australia and has been a freelance sports betting writer since 2016. Matt has written betting previews for well known Australian betting sites, including; Sportsbet, William Hill, Beteasy and PlayUp. His favourite sports to write and bet on include AFL, NRL, Cricket, NBA, NFL and MLB. He takes great joy in providing honest betting info for fellow Aussies. 

Katherine is a content writer from Melbourne, Australia, who has almost eight year’s experience in the industry. The majority of her career so far has been spent within the sport, horse racing and gambling industry, and she has no plans of leaving anytime soon. To put it simply, sport is her life, and she would be completely lost without it. When Katherine isn’t writing kick-ass content, she can be found watching sport (surprise, surprise). Her favourite sports are Formula 1, NRL and cricket. She follows all three very closely and will watch every race, game and match. She is passionate about content writing and sport, and is extremely happy she is able to combine the two!

James is a sports writer, editor and published author from Melbourne, Australia, who has six years of experience in the sports industry and a lifetime of experience following it with a passion. He grew up on a steady diet of AFL, cricket and basketball, and after finishing his Masters’ degree in sports management, officially started turning that interest and experience into a career. Since then, he has covered all manner of sports, from AFL and cricket through to surfing and horse racing. He has also edited over 50 books, including one written by a former coach of the Perth Wildcats, and written his own book titled Sport’s Greatest Statistical Anomalies – you can probably guess what that one is about! Such passion for sports and the statistics that surround them means that, unsurprisingly, James has long been an ardent punter, taking a pleasure in analysing form and statistics that to most people is probably bizarre, bordering on unhealthy. But hey, he’s happy, and at least some of the time, so too are those following his tips!

I'm Lachlan! I am a content writer based in Sydney, Australia, who has covered content pertaining to a variety of sports over the years. I have always had an avid passion for both basketball and soccer; however, I am just your classic sports nut at the end of the day! The fusion of both following sports, as well as punting on them, within reason, of course, is something I have grown to be passionate about in recent years. I have channelled that passion in order to produce reviews and content relating to the Aussie bookmaking landscape, and with that, I hope you can enjoy and learn from the content produced on this site!

Responsible Gambling in Australia

One of the biggest responsibilities we have here at MyBettingAustralia is the promotion of responsible gambling. We know how serious this issue is and there are several ways we support responsible gambling in Australia:

Legal Considerations

The laws surrounding gambling in Australia are complex. We do our best to inform you of any age and geographical restrictions, among other things. There are also slightly different laws depending on which state or territory you reside in. 

Fairness in Gambling

To ensure a safe environment for our readers, we only ever recommend and review sites that are adequately licenced in Australia and have set out transparent terms for their platform. We also promote sites that offer a raft or responsible gambling tools.

Be Aware of Gambling Risks

With gambling comes risk. So, we always strive to educate our audience about the risks that are involved in gambling. This includes providing information about different betting strategies, like arbitrage betting, for example, to better explain the risks involved in gambling.

Tools and Support for Problem Gambling

These days, there are a multitude of tools and support available for those who believe their gambling habits are concerning. These tools may be promoted on bookmaker platforms directly or could be from external sources. There are tools like self-exclusion, deposit limits and more that can be taken advantage of.

Gambling Legislation Across Australia

There have been many changes to gambling legislation over the years in Australia. One of the most significant changes we have seen is the banning of sign-up incentives for new customers, which took place in 2018. This law has been refined over the years and a strict framework has been introduced to define what actually constitutes an incentive.

We state and territory in Australia has its own set of legislation and compliance must be achieved right around the country. We are compliant with every Australian state and/ or territory governing body, including:

  • Liquor and Gaming New South Wales (L&GNSW)
  • Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (QOLGR)
  • Gambling and Racing Commission (for the ACT)
  • Lotteries Commission of South Australia
  • Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission
  • Western Australian Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor
  • Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission (NTRWC)

MyBettingAustralia FAQs

In Australia, the minimum age for gambling both online and in physical locations is 18. When signing up for a betting site, you are required to enter your age as well as proof, which means you can’t sign up until you’re of legal age.

If you have signed up for an Australian bookie, you won’t be able to bet with them when you are overseas. Australian betting sites are only available when you are residing in Australia, so if you’re on an international holiday, you’ll have to wait until you’re back!

No, sign-up bonuses for new customers are no longer available at any Australian bookmaker. Bookmakers can still offer a whole raft of promotions and bonuses for existing customers though.

When it comes to online gambling, there is always risk involved. However, you can minimise your risk by betting with reputable Australian bookies, like the ones featured here on MyBettingAustralia.

The withdrawal time will differ depending on which bookie you are withdrawing from. Some bookies these days offer almost instant withdrawals, while others take a few business days.

Many different resources are helpful in the realm of responsible gambling. GambleAware and GamblingHelpOnline are among some of the most helpful and they offer several different tools and products.
