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

Sports and Racing Markets

Horse racing, greyhounds, harness racing, AFL, NRL, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, EPL, cricket (Big Bash), tennis, soccer, MMA/UFC, esports (CS:GO, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant, NBA 2K, etc.).

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

Same Game Multi (SGM up to 450 markets on AFL/NRL/NBA), Same Race Multi, Top 4 payouts on racing/greyhounds, live betting (phone for most sports per AU regs), cash out, bet builder, live esports streaming, Pick'Em contests.

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

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

picklebet accepts the following deposit methods: Visa/Mastercard debit cards, PayID, Apple Pay, POLi (some sources)..

For withdrawals: Bank transfer only. Processed twice daily, 2-4 hours during AU business hours (longer outside), up to 1-3 business days. No fees, no min/max limits..

The minimum deposit is $10 and the minimum bet is $0.20. These are in line with industry standards for Australian bookmakers.

Customer Support

Live chat, email (support@picklebet.com). No phone.

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, self-exclusion (3 months to permanent via form), cooling off/time-out, account suspension, marketing opt-out. Complies with NT Code of Practice. BetStop national register support.

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

Pros & Cons

Verdict

picklebet scores 9.2/10 in our testing. Mixed: Praised for esports, app, features by some reviewers. Poor Trustpilot rating (2.1/5) with complaints on withdrawals/KYC, bonus terms, support.

For punters who prioritise racing markets and competitive odds, picklebet 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: 2026 ACMA investigation for BetStop self-exclusion breach (enforcement pending); user complaints on strict payout verification, slow withdrawals, promo disputes; some account closures..
