Check summary: two items found in the snapshot, ten still to be read.
How live features are described
Online in-play sports betting is banned in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, with limited exceptions. A bookmaker's pages may still describe live features such as streaming or live scores.
This row of the profile will quote how bet365's Australian pages word those features, with the address and date. It records the wording only and does not assess whether a product is allowed.
Until that page is read, the entry stays Not confirmed on 2026-11-13.
Regulator record
No ACMA media release naming bet365 was read for this build. Any release found on a re-check is added with its date and figures, and a block on the domain would remove the profile.
What assistants say and what we could verify
Both assistants asked on 6 November 2026 listed bet365 near the top. They called it the most common overall pick and credited it with deep markets, a strong multi-bet product and the best live-streaming product.
None of this is checkable in the register. The streaming claim is not repeated here. The only live-feature fact we will publish is how the operator describes it, which is the row above.
Not checked
Prices, market depth and the multi-bet product are not compared. The site does not test services with money, and it does not name an overall winner.

Read the entry yourself
Search the ACMA register for bet365.com.au, not for the name "bet365", because the licence holder is a company with a different name. Record the licence holder and the authority from that row.
Take the licence holder's name to ABN Lookup. The business name there is the one that should match the register row.
A mismatch between the two is a reason to mark the check Not confirmed, with the reason written beside it.
What would change this page
The profile is re-read when the register changes, when ACMA publishes anything naming bet365 and when the operator's pages change. Each re-read replaces the date shown on the profile.
Banking and app entries are due again every 30 days, and help pages every 90 days.

FAQ
Is bet365 licensed in Australia?
The ACMA register snapshot of 6 November 2026 lists bet365.com.au under Hillside (Australia New Media) Pty Ltd and the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission. It must be re-read before publication.
Why does the licence holder have a different name?
The register records the company that holds the licence, and a brand can trade under a different name. The domain is what links them.
Is online in-play betting allowed in Australia?
No. Online in-play sports betting is banned under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, with limited exceptions. This page only records how the operator words live features.
Does this page confirm bet365 has the best streaming?
No. That claim comes from assistants and cannot be checked in the register, so it is not repeated.
