Bonus & Promotions

New players are typically offered a matched deposit bonus. For example, a 100% match bonus up to $200 means if you deposit $100, you receive an extra $100 in bonus funds. Important: Always check the wagering requirements before playing.

Worked Bonus Calculation:

Formula: Playthrough = (Deposit + Bonus) × Wagering Multiplier

Example: Deposit $100, 100% bonus up to $200, 35x wagering on deposit + bonus.

Playthrough = ($100 + $100) × 35 = $7,000. You must wager $7,000 (on eligible games) before withdrawing any winnings from the bonus.

App & PWA Guide

Betfair Australia does not offer a native app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Instead, you can use the mobile-optimized website or install the Progressive Web App (PWA) for a near-native experience. To install the PWA on your smartphone, open the Betfair Australia site in your browser (Chrome on Android or Safari on iOS), tap the share/options button, and select Add to Home Screen. This creates an app icon that launches the site in full‑screen mode with faster loading and offline support for key features.

All core functions — account management, deposits, live betting, and withdrawals — are fully accessible on the mobile site. For best performance, keep your browser updated and enable notifications for time-sensitive offers.

Extra Tips – Responsible Gambling Tools

Betfair Australia provides several tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
• Session Limits: Receive alerts when you’ve been logged in for a set amount of time.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to your account. This is a serious step — contact customer support for assistance.

Use these tools proactively. Remember, gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money.
