PALMERBET REVIEW

Our independent review of bookmaker Palmerbet takes a look at company’s online product and compares how the Sydney-based bookie stacks up against the competition.

Being 100 percent Australian-owned and operated, Palmerbet has been firmly entrenched in the Sydney bookmaking ring for more than 30 years, and in 2013, they made the move into the online marketplace.

Although their main focus has always been on horse racing, their online sportsbook is one of the best in the industry, with prices that others struggle to match.

100 per cent Australian-owned
 

Started by Ted Palmer, the company remains in the care of the family which operates in Sydney and interstate betting rings.

A firmly established and trusted bookmaker, Palmerbet is licensed by Racing NSW and is a member of the NSW bookmakers’ cooperative. They are one of the few 100 percent Australian-owned bookmakers to offer a competitive online bookmaking service.

Palmerbet are noted for offering best odds across numerous sporting markets including NBA, AFL and NRL. They strive to live up to the self-billing of being Australia’s “newest and most exciting online bookmaker” with the intention of “revolutionising the Australian wagering market”.

Odds and Markets
 

Palmerbet offers markets on all leading domestic sports including horse racing, harness racing, greyhound racing, AFL, NRL, Super Rugby as well as international markets on soccer, tennis, cricket and much more.

The big selling point behind the Palmerbet operation is their “commitment to offering better odds and bigger limits”. You will find a significant number of markets across all sports offered and should be able to get on the bet you want without encountering any problems.

Website
 

The Palmerbet website was clearly well thought out ahead of the launch in August 2013 and it offers a user-friendly experience with markets well-advertised and the displays clear and easy to use.

The left-hand menu offers links to various sporting markets and is separated into Racing and Sports which makes finding your market a very quick process.

The latest promotions are advertised down the right hand side of the homepage while the biggest markets of the day along with ‘Next To Play’ and ‘Next to Race’ are centred on the page for easy and speedy access.
