Comparing Australia’s Newest Bookmakers

How To Find New Bookies In Australia

Online wagering licences in Australia are issued at both the federal and state/territory level, which means no single register tells the full story. A new operator might appear on the NT Racing Commission list weeks before it shows up anywhere else. Cross-referencing the sources below is the most reliable way to catch new operators early. We do this regularly to keep the list above current.

The Federal Register: ACMA

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is the federal regulator responsible for enforcing the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. They maintain a public register of every licensed betting site legally allowed to operate in Australia. If a bookmaker is taking bets from Australian residents, it must be on this list. It’s the single most authoritative source and the first place to check when you come across an unfamiliar brand.

The register shows the operator name, the licence type, and which state or territory issued the underlying licence. It’s updated regularly but can lag a few weeks behind a new operator going live.

The ACMA website is the ultimate source to finding legal online bookmakers in Australia. Here you can find all betting sites along with their URLs, trading name, licensing authority + licence holder. Unfortunately they don't highlight which URLs are actually active, nor do they offer a comparison service. That's what ListOfAllBookmakers is here for - to compare, review, and list all betting sites in Australia.

Northern Territory Racing Commission

The NT is the primary licensing jurisdiction for online sportsbooks in Australia. The low tax rate, straightforward application process, and well-established regulatory framework make it the default choice for new entrants.

The NT Racing Commission publishes a full list of licensed sports wagering platforms, betting exchange operators, and totalisators. This is a super useful register for spotting new brands early as the NT list of licensed betting sites can sometimes be updated before the ACMA register.

Liquor and Gaming NSW

NSW is another common licensing jurisdiction for Australian sportsbooks. Liquor and Gaming NSW regulates wagering under the Betting and Racing Act 1998. A NSW licence is a strong signal of legitimacy, as the state has a strict approval process and active enforcement. Several of the new bookies on this page hold NSW licences, including BetPinnacle and Dafabet.

NSW Bookmakers Co-operative

The NSW Bookmakers Co-operative is the industry representative for NSW-licensed bookmakers. Its membership covers both on-course bookies operating at thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racecourses across NSW, and a handful of online wagering platforms. It’s not a top resource for finding new betting sites, but an added signal of legitimacy for its members.

VGCCC (Victoria)

The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) registers Victorian bookmakers and monitors every wagering provider active in the state. It’s the main regulator for any operator that holds a Victorian licence. The catch for punters: the VGCCC doesn’t publish a list of licence holders, so it isn’t much help for finding new operators.

Racing Victoria

Racing Victoria is separately responsible for licensing platforms which offer markets on Victorian racing. Any bookmaker offering VIC racing markets must hold a permit from Racing Victoria on top of their VGCCC registration. They maintain an up-to-date list of all licence holders, covering international, local, and on-course bookies.

Victorian Bookmakers Association

The Victorian Bookmakers Association (VBA) is the member body for VIC-licensed operators. Membership is open to on-course, telephone, and online sportsbooks which meet VBA’s standards and have an active relationship with the Victorian racing industry. The newest online bookie within the VBA is BallrBet. Their website is a useful secondary check when researching a VIC-licensed operator.

Queensland Racing Integrity Commission

The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) is the licensing body for bookmakers in Queensland. It’s not a major jurisdiction as the state’s wagering market is dominated by UBET QLD Limited who holds an exclusive retail licence. This register has limited value for new operator discovery compared to NT or NSW.

Consumer and Business Services SA

South Australia doesn’t issue its own primary online betting licence. Instead, an operator licensed in another state or territory (NT, NSW, or VIC) has to notify Consumer and Business Services SA (CBS) before it can take bets from SA residents. That registration makes it an “authorised interstate betting operator”. Only one online bookie, TAB, is set up this way, so the CBS register is close to useless for spotting new entrants.

Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission

The Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission (TLGC) administers gambling licences in Tasmania, including Tasmanian Gaming Licences which cover online wagering and betting exchange operations. Tasmania is not a significant regulator when it comes to online activities and they do not maintain a list of active licence holders for online wagering.

What We’re Tracking Right Now

FAQs on New Betting Sites in Australia

How often is the list of new bookmakers updated?

We check the official registers regularly and update the list whenever a new operator launches. The ACMA register is our primary source, cross-referenced with state regulator lists from NT, NSW, and VIC.

How do I know if a new Australian betting site is legitimate?

The quickest check is the ACMA’s public operator register. If an online wagering service is legally taking bets from Australian residents, it must appear on that list.

What platforms do most new Australian sportsbooks run on?

The most common platforms right now are ApolloTech, BetMakers, and GenerationWeb. Most smaller operators use one of these white-label platforms rather than building their own tech from scratch.

What is the newest online sportsbook in Australia?

The newest betting site in Australia is RiverBet, operating under a license from the VGCCC. Other new wagering platforms include Dafabet (June 2026), OnlyBets (May 2026), and PuntSport (April 2026).
