Puntnow was established in 2023 (launched mid-2023; company ABN active from Oct 2022) and is operated by PuntNow Pty Ltd (100% Australian owned). The operator holds a licence from Licensed in Victoria, Australia by Racing Victoria / Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC); Member of Victorian Bookmakers Association (no specific licence number found).

We tested Puntnow 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.

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

Customer Support

Live chat (daytime hours), email (support@puntnow.com.au), phone (07 3517 1599 for closures), FAQ

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.

For punters who prioritise racing markets and competitive odds, Puntnow 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 strict withdrawal turnover rules, payout caps (e.g. $2k exotics), verification delays, support quality; no major regulatory issues found.
