      It's not revolutionary stuff but from where they have come from it's a huge step up and a much needed one

          "bubblegum"?
          It worked, was reliable, no issues with it.
          I'm impressed with (though concerned about) all the new products and promos which will surely boost their customer numbers but don't see how the software delivers anything more than before. In fact I am struggling to see anything that's improved on that front against the fact that I'm now being logged out more frequently than ever before.
          I'm concerned that they are positioning themselves as a tempting target for one of the corporate cowards who would wreck what is now the best online bookie in Australia.

                That's BS.

                I've been using them for years and withdrawals have always been very prompt. Overnight transfer to bank account.

                However, if you use a credit or DC they have a rather unique (in my experience) method of processing reversals of your deposits which can take a couple of days longer to appear on your card or bank account. Better to use Poli if you want to be sure of overnight credits.

                      I made no comment about what it LOOKED like. Frankly I couldn't care less as long as it is functional and hassle free. As I've always found it.

                        Yeah good for their pockets but a serious setback for punters such as I.

                          Nice $600 match up free bet if you deposit $600. For old and new customers.

                            You guys are forgetting one major change I don't think it's software related either due to some new regulation they can stay open 24 hours a day now before they were only open to gamble on Australian hours business hours

                                They claim they are open to take bets 24 hrs a day now

                                This was not the case before

                                They could only take bets during Aussie business hrs 7 days a week

                                On Sunday you could not bet early nfl games because they wee closed

                                Also at Tats you cannot bet unless they are open

                                    Dink you have zero clue

                                    You could not make online bets on events that were going off when the book was closed

                                    The only lines offered were events that were going on during their hrs of operation

                                    So your half right

                                      JJ , I have had an account with them for a few years so don't talk to me like you have a clue at all.

                                      I could get bets on with them outside business hours (not 24/7, never tried, but still outside business hours), so you who can't even have an account there is trying to tell someone who has an account and money with them that they have zero clue? Pull your fukkn head in!

                                        Dink i am 1000% sure you could not bet an early nfl game there because they were closed

                                        Maybe line protection was one reason


                                        Now it seems it has changed

                                        If you not believe me call them

                                        I have way more experience than you could ever imagine worldwide with sportsbooks

                                          JJ, you said you couldn't get a bet on outside of business hours. I'm saying you could, because I HAD DONE IT. Simple, understand?

                                            Yes I hear you
                                            My point was you could not bet an event that was outside their business hrs

                                            Not exactly sure on their reasoning


                                            Sorry for confusion

                                            Now it seems everything goes which is good

                                              they didn't close outside office hours.
                                              you placed the bet, then had to wait for x hours until at some random time someone came in to the office to accept it (or not of course). tatts does close.

                                                  Other than the TAB's

                                                  topsport.com.au and betstar.com.au are the only remaining 100% owned Australian books that I know of.

                                                  If I had to rate them they are pretty even, betstar winning by a point for having there odds available earlier and more consistantly.

                                                    Another point is markets in general betstar offer more and considerably more

                                                        Wrong!

                                                        Huge difference in favour of Topsport.
                                                        Betstar won't let me bet any fixed odds racing or promo. products and cut back almost all my sports bets to a fraction of what I ask for.
                                                        Topsport offering BOB and great promos such as $600 free bet and money back for running 2nd and 3rd win by a mile.

                                                          The bets taken at betstar each day are 10x the amount of bets at TopSport

                                                          There not even in the same league

                                                            Bets taken is an utterly useless measure of a bookmaker's value to me.

                                                            I suspect your figures are somewhat out of date too.

                                                            I'd be utterly astonished if Betstar took more bets, let alone 10x yesterday!
