TopSports AU With Major Software Upgrade

[jjgold]

Pretty impressive

Smaller book but of course strong..all Australian owned

[bettingstation]

goodluck to them...

[dink]

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

[jjgold]

Dink I agree the old stuff was bubblegum software as Far as they're concerned it's a major upgrade

"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.

I heard they are on the slow side in paying.

Any proof Son???

You sure you got the right book??

This is a deep Aussie book

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.

OMG are you blind?

The old site was an eyesore.

[dink]

As for being logged out, new software, it'll be perfected soon little problems will be gone

Also, if they sell up, good on them!

[Hareeba!]

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.

[dink]

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

[jjgold]

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

BAAHHH wrong

Who the fukk is this?

[jjgold]

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]

still wrong

[jjgold]

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

[dink]

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!

[jjgold]

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

[dink]

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?

[jjgold]

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

[noyb]

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.

[Redondo]

Any proof Son???

no I do infact have the wrong book, I ws thinking top bet

[dink]

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.

[dink]

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

[jjgold]

Dink correct

BetStar also much much busier

No comparison

[Hareeba!]

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.

[jjgold]

No I am right

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

There not even in the same league

[Hareeba!]

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!

[dink]

maybe alexa rankings are something to go by?

Betsar
global rank 348,452
rank in australia 3,686



topsport
global rank 538,008
rank in australia 7,223

and how old is that data?
my money firmly on Topsport having massacred them yesterday and will be well in front by the end of the carnival

I think it's daily if they are registered with alexa, if not then i think it's once a week. I'm not an alexa pro though.

[dink]

And didn't they have the exact same promo for 2nd and 3rd as sportsbet?

[Hareeba!]

dunno about corporate coward Sportsbet's promos, Topsport were refunding up to $100 incl. for BOB bets which have far higher limits than the $250 most of the cowards will take.
