Our Rating

We scored dabble across seven categories using our weighted methodology. Here is how the scores break down.

Sports and Racing Markets

Comprehensive coverage of AFL, NRL, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, EPL, A-League, soccer, tennis, cricket, motorsports, esports, MMA/UFC, boxing, golf, darts, snooker, volleyball; Thoroughbred, harness, greyhound racing (Australian, NZ, international)

For Australian punters, the most relevant markets are thoroughbred racing, greyhounds, AFL, NRL, and cricket. dabble covers all of these extensively.

Key Features

Social betting with Copy Bet, follow punters/sports stars, Banter channels, group chats, SGM & SGM Tracker (NRL, AFL, NBA etc.), Same Race Multi (racing), live streaming (Sky Racing 1/2), fast withdrawals (avg 8.74s), DabbleDiv exotics, racing form, Pick'Em bets

Same Game Multis and Same Race Multis are available, which is consistent with what most Australian punters expect from a modern bookmaker.

Mobile App and Platform

Mobile app only (iOS & Android, 4.8/5 App Store rating, no web betting)

The app performed well during our testing, with fast load times and a clean interface. Navigation between racing and sports sections was straightforward.

Deposits and Withdrawals

dabble accepts the following deposit methods: Debit/credit card, PayID, Apple Pay.

For withdrawals: Bank transfer to Australian accounts; very fast (average 8.74 seconds), no fees.

The minimum deposit is $5 AUD and the minimum bet is $0.01 AUD. These are in line with industry standards for Australian bookmakers.

Customer Support

Live chat (in-app), phone (1800 322 253), email (support@dabble.com.au); hours Sun-Tue 8:30am-8pm AEST, Wed 8:30am-10pm, Thu 8:30am-10:30pm, Fri-Sat 8:30am-11pm

Support hours are adequate for most users, though we would prefer to see 24/7 availability given the nature of live betting and racing schedules.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Deposit limits (daily/weekly/monthly), self-exclusion (24h/7d/30d/permanent), cooling off periods, pre-commitment spend controls; BetStop integration

All Australian-licensed operators are required to provide deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and integration with the BetStop National Self-Exclusion Register. dabble meets these requirements.

Pros & Cons

Verdict

dabble scores 9.6/10 in our testing. Mixed; high app ratings (4.7-4.8/5), praised for social features/UI/odds/withdrawals/community; professional reviews positive on innovation/odds; Trustpilot low (2.1-2.6/5) due to complaints

For punters who prioritise racing markets and competitive odds, dabble is worth considering. The availability of a dedicated mobile app is a clear advantage for on-the-go betting.

We noted the following concerns during testing: User complaints on withdrawals/promos after wins, account suspensions/limits, promo bans, poor CS response; no major regulatory actions found; some call it scam-like but app stores strong.
