Sportingbet has launched their new website to rave reviews from Sports and Racing punters and if you sign up at Australia’s biggest bookmaker today through our site and deposit just $30 you will receive a $100 free bet to try out all of the new features at Sportingbet!
What’s new at Sportingbet?
It’s much Faster to navigate
Sportingbet’s technical team have laboured over the website code and infrastructure with one goal in mind, to deliver the fastest website possible with enhanced offerings and product changes designed to improve speed and capacity. Punters say it’s easy, fast and simple!
My Bet Space for a more personal betting experience
‘My Bet Space’ personalise’s your betting experience. Using ‘My Bet Space’ reduces the time it takes for you to get straight to your preferred markets, do your form selections and get reminders and alerts on competitors you have asked to keep an eye out for.
Track your Favourites easily
Favourites enable you to nominate any competitors you want quick access to. Favourites are available for anything – sports, racing or entertainment.
If you have marked Hawthorn as a favourite AFL team, they will have instant access to all the current markets involving Hawthorn, or a Hawthorn player. E.g. Lance Franklin in the Coleman Medal market.
Personalisation and the favourites menu are an easy and simple way of setting up markets and competitors that match your preferences.
Enhanced Racing Product
Sportingbet has enhanced the new Race Card allowing you to personalise the way you view the daily races.
Two ways to view the race card – Standard and Time based.
Standard View
Standard view lists race numbers in columns and venues in rows, but includes race highlighting. Highlighted races are coloured differently and when you mouse over the race, the reasons for the highlighting will be shown.
Possible reasons include:
- Sportingbet has set this race to be a highlighted race, so it will stand out (i.e. Group Races)
- You have a favourite horse / trainer / jockey / driver / dog running in the race
- You have marked a runner using iForm
- You have black booked a runner/trainer
Time Based View
The time based race card shows all upcoming races (thoroughbred, trots and dogs) in 30 minute blocks of time, allowing the punter to plan his betting for the upcoming races.
Never miss a good thing with Sportingbet’s Blackbook service plus you can also add a comment which is visible when you mouse over the Blackbooks icon next to the runner in standard race card view.
You can also search for Blackbooked runners from the Blackbooks section within ‘My Bet Space’.
Similar to marking Race books and scribbling on Form guides, iForm (Interactive Form) allows you to examine the form and rate runners with gold, silver or bronze icons. These personal rankings will then be visible from the race itself and the daily race card.
When viewing iForm, you can see which runners have been added to your Blackbooks and / or marked as a favourite. This follows a similar process to ranking runners in the form guide, but has the advantage of then seeing rankings when viewing the market.
The new Multiwizz feature makes putting together your multi bets quicker and easier than ever.
When you click on the ‘Multiwizz’ button, a list of all your recent single bets will be displayed. You can combine all of these bets into a multi bet simply by clicking the “add selected” button. If you’d like to change your selections before adding your multi, simply check or uncheck the checkboxes provided. You can check all legs by clicking the “all” button or uncheck all legs by clicking “clear”.
By selecting search in the Racing menu, you can now search for any horse / trainer / jockey /driver / dog and jump straight to the relevant markets from search results. more info…
This area is where alerts and notifications can be read. It is like your ‘Sportingbet inbox’. important account information and any alerts that you set up can be read in the messages section. more info…

It looks like there are a lot of improvements that went into this. It is good to see there is also some explanation of what happened.
The new Sportingbet website is much quicker than the old one and the many new features for punters make Sportingbet a must have account if you bet online.
Having used the new site ourselves, the ability to personalise it to your own preferences saves a lot of time and makes Sportingbet an even better place to bet.
