# Australian bookmakers side by side: twelve checks, one register, dated sources > Six Australian bookmakers held to the same twelve source-checked items, shown A to Z with dated results and no ranking; snapshot of 13 November 2026. Source: https://bookiechecklist.com/online-betting-australia/ Updated: 2026-11-13 No single Australian bookmaker is best on every count, and this page does not rank them. Six operators with profiles on this site appear in alphabetical order, each held to the same twelve source-checked items. At the 13 November 2026 snapshot no item has been read yet, so every cell shows as not confirmed until a source is logged. ## How to read this page Rows are operators in A to Z order. Columns are the twelve checks, C01 to C12. Each cell will take one of three results: Found, Not found on the page checked, or Not confirmed on a stated date. The tally at the end of a row counts results. It is not a score, and nothing on this page is sorted by it. Today every cell reads Not confirmed because no check has been run. That is the starting state of the table, not a finding about any operator. **Bottom line:** read each cell as a dated fact with a source, never as a grade. ## The twelve checks Each check names the primary source we read and the condition for Found. The full method is on [Each of the twelve checks, with its source and its limits](https://bookiechecklist.com/the-12-checks-explained/). **The twelve checks, with the source read for each · method version of 2026-11-13** | Code | Check | Where we look | Found when | |---|---|---|---| | C01 | Register entry | ACMA register, CSV or JSON download | Brand and domain sit in one record | | C02 | Licence holder and authority | The same register record | Both are named | | C03 | ABN active | ABN Lookup, using the licence holder's ABN | Status Active and a start date | | C04 | Time-out | Operator's responsible-gambling page | A time-out is described | | C05 | Deposit limit | The same page | A deposit limit is described | | C06 | Self-exclusion and BetStop | The same page and betstop.gov.au | Closing or self-excluding is described, with a link to BetStop | | C07 | Reminders and statements | The same page | Time reminders or an activity statement are described | | C08 | Payment methods | Operator's banking page | Deposit methods are listed | | C09 | Minimum deposit | The same banking page | A minimum in A$ is stated | | C10 | ID verification | Operator's help page or terms | ID and 18+ age verification are described | | C11 | App | App Store and Google Play | A listing is found; version and update date are recorded | | C12 | Support | Help and contact pages | A channel and its hours are stated | ## Operator cards The six operators below have profile pages. All six are candidates: each licence is subject to confirmation against the register download, and no operator is shown as licensed here until C01 is read. **Twelve checks by operator, sorted A to Z, not by merit · tally is found · not found on the page checked · not confirmed · all cells Not confirmed on 2026-11-13** | Operator | C01 | C02 | C03 | C04 | C05 | C06 | C07 | C08 | C09 | C10 | C11 | C12 | Tally | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | bet365 | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | | Dabble | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | | Ladbrokes | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | | Neds | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | | Sportsbet | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | | TAB | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 0 · 0 · 12 | Profiles: [bet365: what the register and its own pages confirm](https://bookiechecklist.com/bet365-checks/), [Dabble: what the register and its own pages confirm](https://bookiechecklist.com/dabble-checks/), [Ladbrokes and Neds: two brands, what the register shows](https://bookiechecklist.com/ladbrokes-neds-checks/) for both Ladbrokes and Neds, [Sportsbet: what the register and its own pages confirm](https://bookiechecklist.com/sportsbet-checks/) and [TAB: one brand, several state licences](https://bookiechecklist.com/tab-checks/). **Bottom line:** six candidates, seventy-two cells, nothing read yet. ## Where they differ No differences can be stated yet, because no cell holds a result. This section will fill once at least two operators carry different results on the same check, each with its source. The checks most likely to separate operators are the payment and app items, C08, C09 and C11, and the four responsible-gambling items, C04 to C07. Those are the checks where operator pages publish their own wording. Detailed values will sit in [Which payment methods do the bookmakers say they accept?](https://bookiechecklist.com/payment-methods-snapshot/), [Which safer-gambling tools are described, operator by operator?](https://bookiechecklist.com/safer-gambling-tools-snapshot/) and [What do the app store listings say about each bookmaker app?](https://bookiechecklist.com/app-store-facts-snapshot/). ## What a finished cell will look like Each result will carry a short sentence, a source link and a date. The wordings below show the pattern. They are illustrative, not results for any operator. - Found. The register lists the brand and the domain together under one licence holder. - Not found on the page checked. The responsible-gambling page does not describe a time-out. That is not proof the feature is missing; it means we could not confirm it from this page. - Not confirmed on a stated date. The register download could not be read, and the status code is recorded. Illustrative example, not a price: a card that reads 9 found, 2 not found on the page checked and 1 not confirmed is a count of results. It is not a grade of 9 out of 12. **Bottom line:** a result is a sentence with a link and a date, and the count beside it is only a count. ## Four ways to use this page Readers arrive with different questions, so the same table serves four routes. - Worried about an illegal site: start with [Checking a bookmaker's licence in the ACMA register: five steps](https://bookiechecklist.com/check-bookmaker-licence/) before reading any card. - Betting on racing: read [Which Australian bookmakers list all three racing codes?](https://bookiechecklist.com/racing-bookmakers-australia/) for racing codes and tote. - Keeping to a budget: read [Which bookmakers publish low minimum deposits and limit tools?](https://bookiechecklist.com/bookmakers-for-a-cautious-budget/) and [Which bookmakers describe deposit limits, time-outs and help links in full?](https://bookiechecklist.com/safer-gambling-tools-compared/). - Changing operator: compare apps on [Which betting apps do Australian bookmakers list in the app stores?](https://bookiechecklist.com/betting-apps-australia/) and the full matrix on [The matrix: every check, every bookmaker, one dated table](https://bookiechecklist.com/bookmakers-12-checks-snapshot/). ## Who is not included and why A profile is published only when the operator's register entry is confirmed on the day and at least ten of the twelve checks can be read. Until then an operator stays off the matrix. **Operators named in this project but not shown above · as at 2026-11-13** | Operator | Why it is not in the matrix | |---|---| | Betfair (and CrownBet) | Candidate. Profile planned: [Betfair profile](https://bookiechecklist.com/betfair-checks/) | | betr | Candidate. Profile planned: [betr profile](https://bookiechecklist.com/betr-checks/) | | BetRight and PalmerBet | Candidates. Covered together on [the smaller bookmakers page](https://bookiechecklist.com/smaller-bookmakers-australia/); no separate profile | | Picklebet | Candidate. Profile planned: [Picklebet profile](https://bookiechecklist.com/picklebet-checks/) | | PointsBet and Unibet | Candidates. Profiles planned: [PointsBet](https://bookiechecklist.com/pointsbet-checks/) and [Unibet](https://bookiechecklist.com/unibet-checks/) | | TopSport | The country reference of 6 November 2026 shows a register entry with no URL. Not promoted | | TABtouch | Reserve candidate. Not yet reviewed | | BlueBet | Not found in the register on 6 November 2026. Whether it was renamed is not confirmed | Illegal and offshore services are not named and not linked. ACMA treats links to them as helping people reach them. **Bottom line:** an operator joins the matrix when its register entry and its pages can be read, not when it is popular. ## How we checked We compare information published by operators and regulators as at the date shown on each page: the licence record, banking, responsible-gambling tools, apps and support. We do not place bets or test payouts. Check the operator's current terms before you bet. Three result wordings are used, and no others: - Found: the element was read on the page checked (HTTP 200); the quote, URL and date are logged. - Not found on the page checked ({URL}, {date}). This does not show the feature is absent. - Not confirmed on {date}: the page could not be read (status {code}), or the record is ambiguous. A cell without a URL is not allowed, and a blocked page is never bypassed. ## Caveats - A licence is permission from a state or territory authority. It is not a quality rating. - ACMA announced measures involving licensed operators in 2026; they are logged on [What has ACMA done about licensed bookmakers this year?](https://bookiechecklist.com/acma-actions-2026/). - Found means the page describes the item. It does not show the item works as described. - Operator terms change. Register and ABN items are due again within 30 days; responsible-gambling and support items within 90 days. - Aggregators and AI assistants repeat claims such as "biggest" or "lowest margin". We treat them as claims to check, not as facts. **Bottom line:** the table describes published pages on one date, not the products behind them. ## Sources - ACMA, [Check if a gambling operator is legal](https://www.acma.gov.au/check-if-gambling-operator-legal), the register of licensed interactive gambling providers. - ABN Lookup, [abr.business.gov.au](https://abr.business.gov.au/). - BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, [betstop.gov.au](https://www.betstop.gov.au/). - Gambling Help Online, [gamblinghelponline.org.au](https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/). - App Store and Google Play listings for each operator, read at the check date. - Each operator's own responsible-gambling, banking and help pages, with URL and date in the log. ## What changed 13 November 2026: the matrix was created with six operators and twelve checks.

It shows the same twelve checks for each operator, with a source and date per cell. Which items matter depends on the reader, so the table is alphabetical and is never ranked. **What are the twelve checks?** C01 register entry, C02 licence holder and authority, C03 active ABN, C04 time-out, C05 deposit limit, C06 self-exclusion and BetStop, C07 reminders and statements, C08 payment methods, C09 minimum deposit, C10 ID verification, C11 app listing, C12 support. **Why does every cell say Not confirmed?** No source has been read yet for the 13 November 2026 snapshot. Not confirmed is the starting state. It says nothing about an operator, and each cell changes only when a page is read and logged. **Does the tally work as a score?** No. The tally counts results as found, not found on the page checked, and not confirmed. It is never a score or a place, and the table cannot be sorted by it. **Is this site a bookmaker?** No. This is a reference site. We are not a bookmaker and do not take bets. We list operators and read their published pages; we do not run any of them.
