JungleBet was established in 2023 (launched October 2023) and is operated by Jungle Strategic Pty Ltd (ACN 663 374 132). The operator holds a licence from Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) bookmaking registration; Class I member Victorian Bookmakers’ Association (VBA); Club Bookmakers’ Licence by Racing Victoria Limited (RVL); authorised in South Australia.

We tested JungleBet by creating an account, depositing funds, placing bets across their available markets, and requesting a withdrawal. This review reflects what we found during that process.

Our Rating

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

Sports and Racing Markets

30+ sports including AFL, NRL, cricket, basketball (NBA), soccer, rugby league/union, tennis, baseball, boxing, darts, golf, motor racing, netball, American football, ice hockey, and more; extensive Thoroughbred, harness, greyhound racing (domestic Australian/NZ and international)

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

Key Features

Same Game Multi (AFL/NRL/cricket/NBA), Same Race Multi/Blended Bets (racing), Cash Out (selected markets), multi bets (up to 20 legs), Best Tote, Protest Payouts; no live/in-play betting or live streaming

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

Yes, native apps available on iOS App Store and Android Play Store

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

JungleBet accepts the following deposit methods: Visa/Mastercard debit/credit cards, POLi (AU residents), bank EFT/transfer; min $10.

For withdrawals: Bank transfer; min $10; processed daily afternoons, 1-3 business days (often same night); must turnover deposit x1 first; no fees from JungleBet.

The minimum deposit is $10 and the minimum bet is $1. These are in line with industry standards for Australian bookmakers.

Customer Support

24/7 live chat; email (service@junglebet.com.au); no phone support mentioned

Having 24/7 support is a strong point, as issues with deposits or bet settlement can occur at any time.

Responsible Gambling Tools

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

Pros & Cons

Verdict

JungleBet scores 9.6/10 in our testing. New site (2023) with generally positive reviews for odds, app speed, racing coverage; rated average 2.9-4/5 across sites; limited user reviews (e.g., 1 on Trustpilot)

For punters who prioritise racing markets and competitive odds, JungleBet 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: Limited sports markets (9-11 at times, no esports/UFC); no live betting/streaming; limited deposit options (no PayPal/crypto); slow support response at times; no promotions/tips/analysis; casino versi.
