Draftstars Australia Review

We’ve all dreamed of being the manager of a sports team. The good news is that Draftstars Australia has made that dream possible. Not only can you build your own sports team, but you can also win cash prizes by competing against other punters.

Multiple sports are covered on this platform. You’ll have the choice between Australian rules, rugby, soccer, basketball, American football, ice hockey, and more. All you need to do is select a team for an upcoming game and try to outscore all of your opponents. If you succeed in doing so, you’ll walk away with a percentage of the prize pool. Entry fees are also applied to various leagues. The higher your entry fee, the higher your potential cash payout will be.

Moreover, you can also join in-play and rapid-fire contests. There’s plenty of variety on offer here to fulfil all of your needs. Draftstars Australia is also an approved betting partner of the AFL and NRL.

You can also join this fantasy brand using our exclusive Draftstars Australia code.

Draftstars Australia has six sports for punters to choose from. However, also bear in mind that you can use the ‘Rapidfire’ section to bet on individual player matchups. The sports on offer are as follows:

The number of sports available is generous compared to some other fantasy sites. For instance, the Indian version of Draftstars only has three sports on offer. However, as this is a new platform we can expect the number of markets to grow in the future.

The AFL contests are the most popular on this platform by a country mile. That’ll come as no surprise given that Aussies absolutely love their national sport. Therefore, we’ve decided to include a couple of AFL betting tips to give you the best chance possible of landing a cash prize.

Points Win Prizes - The best way to score points in an AFL contest is by selecting goal scorers. You’ll get 6 points each time one of your players kicks a goal. When you consider that each team usually scores more than 100 points in a game this can really start to add up. However, also be aware that you’ll need to remain within the salary cap. Therefore, you won’t be able to select a team full of Buddy Franklin’s unfortunately.

Tackles - Big tacklers can also land you some serious cash prizes. You’ll get 4 points each time one of your players completes a successful tackle which is fantastic considering there are so many of them in an AFL contest. Try to find an even balance between goal scorers and tacklers and you’ll have every chance of winning.

Soccer is an incredibly popular sport in Australia. The Premier League is watched by millions of Aussies each week. The best part is that Draftstars Australia gives you the opportunity to add more spice to the games you already love. Here’s a couple of things to keep in mind when you’re selecting your fantasy soccer teams:

Goals Galore - Like AFL, goals will score you the most points when you’re betting on soccer. You’ll receive 8 points each time one of your players hits the back of the net, so try to pick as many great finishers as possible. Another way to get one up on your opponents is to try a squeeze a few goal-scoring defenders into your team. That way you’ll score points for clean sheets as well as goals.

Clean Sheets - A decent goalkeeper and a few great defenders are key components of any fantasy soccer team. You’ll get 5 points for a clean sheet as long as your players play more than 60 minutes of the game. You’ll also get 2 points each time your keeper makes a save which can be hugely important. Sometimes, it can be detrimental to pick a keeper who you reckon won’t have much to do. You’ll need him to make at least a couple of saves in order to keep your points tally ticking over.

We’re highly impressed with the Draftstars Australia website. The layout is fantastic and everything is well organised which makes it easy for punters to use. You’ll spend most of your time on the ‘Lobby’ page where everything is broken down into individual categories. Moreover, there’s an in-depth ‘How to Play’ section which can be extremely useful if you’re using the site for the first time.

In order to log in, simply scroll to the top of the homepage and click the ‘Sign In’ button. All that’s left to do is enter your username and password. Furthermore, if you forget your password don’t panic. Just click the ‘Forgot Password’ link and enter your e-mail address. A link will be sent to your account enabling you to set up a new one.

Draftstars sites aren’t renowned for having the best betting products that you’ve ever seen. However, there are still a couple of useful tools. You’ll have access to the following:

You can access the latest sports news articles by clicking on the ‘News and Tips’ tab on the left-hand side of the homepage. You’ll have access to match reviews and cheat sheets for a range of sports.

Resident tipsters also provide their betting tips which can be useful when you’re trying to pick a team full of superstars on a budget.

You’ll need to know how to score points when you’re picking your team. Once you’ve found an event simply click on the ‘enter’ button and then click on the ‘scoring’ tab. For example, you’ll receive 6 points if your player scores a goal in an AFL game. However, you should also be aware that negative points are possible when players make mistakes. An example of this would be -3 points each time a player concedes a free kick.

You can use three different deposit methods to fund your Draftstars Australia account. However, please be aware that deposits are capped at $1,000 per day, $5,000 per week, and $10,000 per month. The deposit options are as follows:

When you’re making a withdrawal, all winnings will go directly to your bank account. The minimum withdrawal amount is $20 for Australian punters or $100 if you reside in New Zealand.
