Unibet Australia Review

Unibet was first established back in Sweden in 1997, so it’s by no means a newcomer to the industry. It’s part of the Kindred Group, one of the world’s largest online gambling companies, alongside several other notable brand names including 32Red, Stan James Online and Bet24. 

Its entry into the Australian online betting market came about in 2012 when the Kindred Group acquired the Australian-owned Betchoice. This was rebranded to become Unibet Australia using the url unibet.com.au to highlight that it is a legitimate operator within the country. 

Unibet has won multiple EGR awards for its online sportsbook and it has established a reputation as a trusted and reliable operator among it many loyal customers. The Australian arm is operated by the Unibet/Betchoice Corporation Pty Ltd which has a registered office at Fannie Bay Racecourse and is licenced and regulated by the Northern Territory Government.

It’s impossible to be classified as a top bookmaker in Australia if racing is not comprehensively covered. Unibet joins the list of online bookmakers that offer all Australia and New Zealand races spanning the three different forms. There is also a respectable amount of international racing covered, with action from tracks in the UK, USA, Ireland, France, India and South Africa.

One of Australia’s biggest betting events is the Melbourne Cup, and you can place your bet on this race anytime throughout the year by looking at the ‘futures’ markets. Many other famous Australian races are also readily available for ante post betting, such as: Caulfield Cup, Turnbull Stakes, Cox Plate, Golden Slipper Stakes, The Everest, Thousand Guineas and the Epsom Handicap to name a few.

The clear interface at Unibet makes finding your race and having a punt very easy. Another nice feature is that you can flick to change the bet slip from single to multi to exotics. This makes things much tidier compared to a stacked list like most other platforms use. All of the usual bet types are available, including: win and place fixed odds, best Tote, mid Tote, top Flucs, Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four and Quadrella.

Unibet offers thousands of betting markets every day covering all forms of racing and a plethora of different sports.

There’s no shortage of sports betting options with more than 10,000 markets available every day. The menu tags the most popular sports that punters are currently betting on.

The number of markets within each sport shows that Unibet Australia is one of the top online bookmakers around. AFL matches have more than 130 betting options such as totals, lines, margins, players, halves and quarter markets. 

Rugby league (NRL) punters can pick from 70+ markets. The coverage of international action is acceptable, with 140 EPL markets, 50 MLB markets, 20 US Open match markets. Even smaller events have good coverage, for instance soccer matches from Serie B in Brazil offer 70 markets for punters.

Unibet Australia offers live betting via the telephone. It covers more than 30,000 live events every year ranging from soccer, Australian rules and rugby league to tennis, golf and cricket. Market depth is variable depending on the event. Some live betting games outshone bet365 in depth, whilst others were a little bare. 

When it comes to live streaming, Unibet Australia is in a league of its own offering more than 165,000 live events every year. This includes coverage from top-tier European soccer leagues, grand slam tennis events, NBA, NBL, NHL and more. To complement the live action, Unibet also offers a top-quality live betting service for punters.

In our opinion, the Unibet platform - on both desktop and mobile - is one of the best around in terms of being user-friendly. Everything is clearly presented in an orderly way which makes navigating around the site a relaxing experience. If we are going to pick a fault, it would have to be that Unibet doesn’t offer a quick build multi tool like most other sites do.

There is a 3-step quick bet function, however. Plus the smart bet slip allows punters to quickly change from placing single bets to creating a multi or punting on an exotic. For seasoned punters and beginners, a platform like this is perfect.

Unibet Australia prides itself on being an innovative online bookmaker. It’s always striving to improve its product, service and promotions to meet the expectations of punters. These are a few of the highlight features offered:

If you want to take a more data-driven, analytical approach to your sports betting, then Unibet’s Expert Edge is the tool for you. This revolutionary data platform offers match insights through statistical analysis of trillions of pieces of data. Expert Edge is available on AFL, NRL, rugby union, soccer, tennis, basketball, baseball, NFL and NHL games.

This is a free-to-play product offered by Unibet Australia where the best streaker can win $5,000 every month. All you need to do is build up the longest winning streak from a range of pre-selected match-ups. The player with the longest streak claims the top prize. Other prizes are awarded for certain achievements, so this promo offers plenty of value.

Looking to offer something different, Unibet Australia has a unique ‘Owners Payout’ promotion for all horse and greyhound owners. All you have to do is register your runner with Unibet and if you place a winning bet, you’ll get 15% on your winnings - up to a tidy $3,000. It also offers Dead Heat Payouts on both winners guaranteeing punters full dividend on fixed odds win bets if a dead heat, plus Protest Payouts on the first past the post winner and the winner after the stewards’ inquiry.

The web-based mobile platform offers a pleasant mobile betting experience for Australian Unibet punters, but for that little bit extra we believe it is worthwhile downloading the Unibet mobile app.

This is available to customers with an iOS device (9.0 or later) or Android. Through the app you can bet live direct from your bet slip, watch thousands of sporting events every month and keep a track on the action with Unibet’s advanced statistics and live match visualisation screen. The app also has a 3-tap quick bet feature, slider menus listing the hottest action and a catalogue of other cool features such as detailed bet history reports and promotional offers.

Unibet offers the standard banking options for depositing money, they include:

You can only withdraw via transfer to a nominated bank with Unibet stating it can take between 1 - 10 for your winnings to reach you. The time depends on the bank you have chosen.
