Downsides
- Slower to offer certain markets. For example Total Score markets for the NRL are typically made available on Wednesday. This is in contrast to Monday or Tuesday for other leading bookmakers.
- Their bookmaker margins aren’t industry-leading. For example, 1.90 line odds are used, compared to 1.91 that can be found elsewhere.
Bottom Line
betr will only go from strength to strength now that represents the merger of BlueBet and the original betr. The merger has taken the broad customer base of betr and applied it to the in-house betting technology developed by BlueBet. betr now leads the pack amongst the newer Australian brands that are trying to make inroads into an industry that remains dominated by English and Irish-owned companies. A key difference between betr and the other new brands is it is backed by Matt Tripp and Michael Sullivan, two well-known names in the Australian betting industry. The range of markets and features is growing all the time. Same-race multis and in-play phone betting are among a raft of new features since we last reviewed this service.
