Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how Compare The Bookie works.

Is Compare The Bookie free to use?

Yes — completely free, with no account required to browse or compare.

How do you make money?

We are reader-funded. When you sign up through one of our Join links we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never affects our scores or rankings.

Are the bookmakers licensed?

We only list bookmakers licensed to operate in Australia.

What is the difference between the Editor's score and the Punters' rating?

The Editor's score is our hands-on rating out of 10 from testing. The Punters' rating is a live 1-to-5 star average from real visitors.

Can a bookmaker pay for a better score or ranking?

No. Scores and rankings cannot be bought, and no one can pay for placement.

Who can leave a review?

Anyone can rate a bookmaker. It is one rating per person, per bookmaker, with anti-spam protection to keep it fair.

How often is the information updated?

We update bookmaker details regularly. Each listing shows the date it was last updated.

Do you offer betting tips?

Not at the moment. Right now we focus on comparing bookmakers and collecting honest punter reviews.

How do I gamble responsibly or get help?

Set a deposit limit, only bet what you can afford, and take breaks. For free, confidential support 24/7, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or visit our responsible gambling page.
