CENTREBET - iPHONE & ANDROID
Overview
Licensed in the Northern Territory, Australia, in 1996 Centrebet was the first licensed bookmaker in the southern hemisphere to offer online and telephone wagering services. Now with an extensive online presence offering wagers on a plethora of Australian and international markets, Centrebet offers a fast and efficient betting experience on the move via its mobile site and downloadable apps. |
Available free for iPhone and iPad as well as for Android devices, the app is simple and easy to use and a good option for those wanting to bet on the move and with a special interest in Australian sports and markets. A mobile web app that looks and functions in the same way is available for Windows Phone, Blackberry, Nokia and all other types of internet enabled devices.
Look & Feel
The look of the app and mobile site on handsets is far from imaginative with a black background and chunky white font. What it lacks in colour and design it makes up for in usability and its simple look and organisation becomes an asset. Free of distracting tabs and excessive information and features, users are met with tabs for the three main Australian sports across the top of the screen (Aussie Rules, Rugby league and Rugby Union) for quick access options and tabs for sporting highlights, upcoming sporting events, racing and live betting. Your account and further information can be accessed via tabs at the bottom of the screen.
In the racing sections, betting options are initially displayed according to the next to jump and form on a particular horse or dog can be viewed by the touch of a button.
Navigation is quick and hassle free and the simplicity of the app makes for an efficient tool for placing a bet on the move.
Features
Live in-play betting is offered on a range of sporting events from around the world. The options are decent, although perhaps not as comprehensive as some sites. The drawback for international customers again is the Australian government’s prohibition on online betting during live sporting events. This means that punters wanting to bet on in-play events are required to call up Centrebet in order to place their wagers.
Betting & Markets
Centrebet offers wagering on over 8000 markets internationally during the course of the year and punters have the ability to bett on anything from alpine sports to martial arts and non-sporting events such as elections and who will play the next James Bond role. Naturally, there is a particular emphasis on Australian sports so an impressive range of markets and bets are available on Aussie Rules, Rugby, Cricket and Australian soccer, along with wide ranging coverage of both domestic and international race meets

One of the strengths of Centrebet is the sheer number of different betting products and price promises available, particularly for those wagering on racing. Customers have options from basic win bets to more complicated combinations such as Trifectas (selecting the first three places in order) Win6s (nominating the winners of six different races) and Parlays (differing set multi-race combinations). Exclusive to Centrebet is ‘The Great Escape’ (selecting the winning horse in four designated final races of the day). More unique still are odds versus evens and inside versus outside allowing punters to bet head to head on horse and greyhound racing respectively. Place a bet on even number horses to triumph or the inside boxes to prevail over the outside boxes at dogs meetings if you are unable to pick the winner or want to have a more unusual punt.

For sporting events, betting options range from single bets to margins (betting on the winning margin of a side in Australian football, Australian rugby league, Union and Basketball) and Parlays. Interesting options come in the form of line bets where punters can bet on an event with the favourite handicapped by the bookmakers. Bets on whether the handicap is bettered are not are available. Centrebet’s exclusive ‘Pick your own match’ allows customers to pair their team against another in the NRL and AFL. If you don’t feel your team can beat its scheduled opponent but can outscore another, odds are available.
Equally attractive is the large number of price promises offered on racing and sports markets alike. Too numerous to mention here, Centrebet provides a number of guaranteed odds and payments from the ‘Centre Bet’ (offering fixed price odds at the time of wagering or the Best Tote price, whichever is the greater) and the ‘Centre Top’ (win dividend guaranteed to equal or better the official dividend declared by the three main Australian totalisators) to the Best Fluc (bets placed up to 30 minutes prior to race start guaranteed to be paid at the top official on-course fluctuation).
