OldGill jumped onto the betting scene in August of 2024, yet another of what feels like an endless supply of new betting sites utilising the BetCloud platform. But while that may suggest that they are just another version of an array of bookies you’ve probably already used, every site has its points of difference, and OldGill is no exception.
The first thing you’ll notice about one of the new Victorian betting sites is the quirky OldGill website, with a playful design that looks a hell of a lot like a throwback to The Simpsons. Of course, looks aren’t everything, but fortunately the website is also super easy to use and the mobile app, available for iOS and Android, is no different.
OldGill offers a selection of horse racing betting markets and sports markets which won’t blow you away, but which will be enough to keep most punters happy. For racing they have all the standard markets you would expect, while they offer a reasonable selection of sports for a new bookie. If you’re looking for the broadest selection of things to bet on from a sporting perspective you won’t find it here, but there will be enough to keep most punters happy.
And as for the odds? For a new bookie, they are pretty good at OldGill. Their racing odds are right around industry average if not a little better, while I’ve managed to find some odds that are competitive with the best for certain sporting markets.
This isn’t a universal truth; some of their sporting odds do leave a little more to be desired, but if you are shopping around for the best value then OldGill are certainly worth checking out. While OldGill isn't an international brand just yet, it wouldn't surprise me to see them become one of the many international betting sites in the future.
If you are using OldGill and need to get into contact with them, I’m pleased to report that you will have plenty of options. They have a live chat feature – my preferred form of contact – every day of the week, while you can also send them an email or give them a ring if you would rather go down that route. In my experience, the customer support agents are generally pretty helpful, too.
In terms of banking, there is plenty of room for improvement, with a very limited selection for both deposits and withdrawals available with OldGill. For deposits, you can drop a minimum of $10 into your OldGill account using debit/credit card (immediate) or bank transfer (might take a few hours or day or so), while your withdrawal options are limited to just bank transfer, and this will take a day or so.
Overall, OldGill does bear plenty of similarities to a whole lot of other new betting sites, but of the array of new ones hanging around they are probably on the upper end of the scale in terms of quality. Their solid odds are a major reason why, while a sleek website and quality OldGill mobile app also help to make them a better than average new betting site.
