Overview

Licensed bookmakers whose product is racing-first — thoroughbred, harness and greyhound markets as the core offer.

This guide covers how licensing works for racing bookmakers, what to check before opening an account, and the complaint pathway if something goes wrong — strictly factual, with no offers, no odds and no tips.

Good to know

Every operator listed on the register holds an Australian state or territory licence. Licensing details can change — always confirm current status with the regulator named on the listing.

What to check

The licensee legal entity and its regulator — both appear on every register listing.
Licence status and the last-verified date, confirmed against the official register.
The complaint pathway: raise it with the operator first, then the regulator that issued the licence.
