Since its inception as Puntaa, Picklebet has aimed to do things differently, bringing betting to a wider audience. With a particular focus on esports, but now also including a diverse sportsbook and racing, the company has grown and matured with its target market. The co- founders, Nick Heany and Damon Oudejeans, are both Australian, and the company remains entirely owned and operated by Australians.

Picklebet offers racing and sports betting, with a diverse range of sports included. Players can place a bet online 24/7 with instant confirmation of acceptance. In addition to its large sportsbook and racing options, Picklebet also offers betting on esports. An early passion for esports led to Picklebet becoming a leader in the field, where it remains today. Daily tips and news on the esports market are included for free at Picklebet, consolidating its position as one of the true esports expert bookmakers.

Bookmakers like Picklebet are bound by extremely strict federal laws in Australia, so you’ll need to create an account if you want to place a bet. As a licensed provider, Picklebet is extremely strict and only permits a limited view of the site for non-members. To view the full site information or to bet, you’ll have to sign up first.

Creating an account can all be managed online, and the process is quick and easy. Once your account is up and running, you can have a good browse through all of the betting options on the Picklebet site. The navigation bar on the left-hand side will allow you to hop between Sports and Esports, with further filters to narrow down your choice.

Once you’ve clicked on the sport or esport you want to bet on, the main panel will display the events currently taking place. In the navigation panel next to the name of your chosen sport, you should see a number in small print. This is the number of events currently available to bet on, and your options in the main panel should match this.

In the main panel, click on the player or team you want to bet on, and your betting slip will appear on the right-hand side. If you are properly logged in, you’ll be able to place it here by clicking on the betting options that you want, and by entering your stake. The betting slip will show you the total stake and the estimated payout, so make sure these are correct before proceeding.

The desktop site for Picklebet has been fully optimised for mobile use. This means that you don’t need to download an app to use Picklebet on your mobile, and you can simply visit the same website as usual in your mobile browser.

However, should you prefer a mobile app, there are two available: one for Android and the other for iOS. These can be downloaded from the Play Store and App Store, respectively.

The apps offer full functionality for its users, including the ability to live stream esport events. Picklebet doesn’t have its own streaming facility, but with a link to the Twitch live stream embedded in the app, you can access all the same functionality as you would in the browser.

As Picklebet wasn’t designed with esports as an afterthought, you won’t need to scroll through all of the sportsbook to find the esport section. Esports has always been one of the primary interests of Picklebet, and on the apps, it’s easy to jump between markets by using the buttons on the top left. Esports loads as the default, with the main page showing all of the upcoming and current events.

Deposits, withdrawals, and bets can all be made as usual with the apps, so there’s no need to use the browser for any of the functions
