Our Rating

We scored Punt123 across seven categories using our weighted methodology. Here is how the scores break down.

Sports and Racing Markets

Horse racing (Australian and international incl. Grand National, Kentucky Derby), greyhounds, AFL, NRL, cricket, Aussie rules, baseball, basketball, darts, soccer, and 14+ other sports categories

For Australian punters, the most relevant markets are thoroughbred racing, greyhounds, AFL, NRL, and cricket. Punt123 covers all of these extensively.

Key Features

Same game/race multis, live betting (racing), live streaming (Punt123TV/SkyRacing), cash out/protest payouts, bet builder, top tote, speedmaps, form guides, tips

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 for iOS (App Store) and Android (Google 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

Punt123 accepts the following deposit methods: Debit/credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, POLi, bank transfer/Osko (min $10, instant except first Osko up to 24h).

For withdrawals: Bank transfer (min $20, next business day if requested by 5pm AEST; daily fast withdrawals advertised), turnover deposit once before withdrawal.

The minimum deposit is $10 AUD and the minimum bet is $0.50 AUD (some sources note $0.01). These are in line with industry standards for Australian bookmakers.

Customer Support

Live chat and email (support@punt123.bet), available 9am-10pm AEDT Mon-Sun (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/bet limits, self-exclusion (24h to permanent), BetStop national register, cooling off; complies with VBA Responsible Gambling Code

All Australian-licensed operators are required to provide deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and integration with the BetStop National Self-Exclusion Register. Punt123 meets these requirements.
