WellBet Review

WellBet is a newer online betting site that is fully licensed and regulated. The theme of their site is a relaxed, chill set-up where you can enjoy simple betting. They offer a lot of horse racing from the domestic and international scenes but also round things out nicely with a sportsbook. WellBet also has iOS and Android apps for those players who like to have a punt on the go.

A quick and convenient betting platform, WellBet’s user-friendliness is outstanding. That means it is easy to get into your betting quickly – here’s how:

Register or Login

New customers can sign up on the site or through the WellBet mobile app. Click the sign-up button to start the registration process. This should only take a few minutes and requires only basic personal data.

Deposit

Depositing is quick and easy at WellBet. There is a quick link in the footer of the page and app, or visit your account management when logged in. Select from the available payment options and enter your deposit amount.

Find Your Sport

Start browsing the WellBet platform for your options. Browse through the many racecards from international and domestic meetings, or click over on the left-hand menu to get into your sports betting.

Make Your Selections

Browse through until you find the sports event you are looking for. When on a specific event, the list of available markets for that event will be listed. You can scroll down the page to look through them. When you have settled on a selection, click or tap on the odds cell to send the pick to your bet slip. Do this for as many selections as you are looking for.

Checking the Bet Slip

The bet slip is the final checkpoint on your journey to placing a bet at WellBet. Check that you have added the correct selections. Multi bets can be configured on the bet slip easily, and when everything looks correct, add your stake. You’ll see potential returns and place the bet when you are ready.

Android and iOS versions of the WellBet app are available. These are great apps because they are very functional and user-friendly for betting on the go. There is nothing complicated about the WellBet platform.

On the app, some excellent navigation is available for scrolling through the day’s horse racing listings or browsing the different markets for an NRL match. The app feels very user-friendly, and it’s not laggy at all.

It’s compatible with older devices, and just the general simplicity of it, from making deposits to managing the bet slip, makes it very good. You can find links to the WellBet apps in the footer area of their website.

The horse racing section is very prominent on the WellBet platform. When you visit their site or open their app, you will be greeted with the day’s racing listing and some Featured Racing events.

Along with the heavy load of races from the domestic scene, racecards from South Africa, the UK, Japan and the US can also be explored at WellBet. There is excellent coverage of global racing.

The racecards only carry basic form, like age, weight, jockey and trainer, and there are no integrated racing insights or deeper form views to help selections along.
Again, simplicity is the key here, which works well if you already have your racing selections.

There are 10+ sports in the WellBet sportsbook to browse through. The market depth and variety don’t quite reach the levels of other bookmakers we have visited, but punters should find that the common basics are well covered.

For example, if you are looking for the latest NRL matches or fixtures from the new NFL or Premier League football season, they will be in the WellBet sportsbook.

Click on a specific match to see popular markets like Totals, Correct Scores, Margins and Handicaps, but the variety doesn’t go much deeper.

WellBet’s bookmaker margins are competitive, well in line, and often beat some leading bookies.

No live-streaming or live-betting options are currently available on the WellBet platform.

WellBet has an excellent user-friendly platform, and it’s a great recommendation for beginners. But more experienced punters who don’t rely on betting sites for things like racing form and NRL stats can also get a lot out of it.

The WellBet betting platform’s simplicity means you can get to your betting options quickly. Navigation around the site and the mobile app is a breeze. Switching between horse racing and sports views is easy as the platform is fully configurable.

The theme displays everything very well, and it’s a relaxed environment that is easy on the eye. Racecards and sports betting markets are very well presented, with no clutter, and the odds cells are big for easy clicking.

The bet slip makes configuring multi-bets easy, and Help & Support are accessible through a link in the footer area. Clicking the support link opens a window to contact live chat support or browse their knowledge base.

Bookmakers are not permitted to offer Australian punters a welcome bonus, and there is no rewards program at WellBet.

The state and territories in Australia introduced a blanket ban on promotions and bonuses being offered to new players. For this reason, you will no longer be able to find welcome bonuses being advertised to sign up for an account. Once you have signed up for an account, you will be able to take advantage of the promotions that WellBet offers its registered players.

The positives about the WellBet platform are simplicity and quick, no-frills betting. Tying into that, there are very few extra features around. The mobile betting apps certainly count as a big feature, a huge positive we rate them well for.

Their bet slip is also a good feature, with its multi-bet builder and quick buttons to add stakes. While it may not bother everyone who likes the straightforward betting set-up, it’s worth noting that there is a lack of features like live streaming, cash-outs and same-game multis.
