Betting on sports with PlayUp provides punters with a few valuable betting products. Perhaps their main selling point is that they offer daily fantasy sports as well as regular betting. Their AFL and NRL betting markets ok, but they don’t offer any same game multi-bet options. The coverage of the NBA is also a highlight but overall they do not offer any unique features that set them apart from the other Australian bookmakers. Below are the main features we found while betting on sports with them.

Live Sports Betting – You can bet live on selected live sporting events via the phone. During our time testing their phone betting we found the calls were answered with minimal waiting time and had no issues with getting the bets on in time. The odds available for PlayUp live betting were competitive with the other betting companies in the market. 

NBA H2H & Lines – During the NBA season PlayUp is offering fantastic odds on the NBA this season, with 103% markets on Head to Head and Line bets! This means that most of the time they have the best odds for the two most popular NBA betting markets compared to all the other Australian bookmakers.

PlayUp Sports Blog – Their sports and racing blog provides news and free betting tips for most metropolitan horse racing meetings plus popular sports here in Australia and internationally. The content is limited compared to other bookmakers blogs but there are some solid free tips and analysis available but it does lack some detailed analysis you find elsewhere.

Fantasy Sports – PlayUp also own the DraftStars daily fantasy sports platform which offers the biggest cash prize pools in Australia. They provide fantasy sports betting competitions for horse racing, AFL, NFL, soccer, NBA, golf and cricket. Draftstars offers 4 different types of fantasy sports games to play for each sport which gives you plenty of options.

The racing betting offering from PlayUp gives punters some useful products providing some value for thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds. Not only do they provide betting markets for every Australian thoroughbred race but also selected international racing as well. The odds and promotions for racing are competitive with the larger bookies but one negative is that they do not have any live streaming of racing for their customers. Below are some of the highlights we found while betting on racing with them.

Best of the best premium – PlayUp will pay you the higher of either the best of the 3 Australian TAB’s or the bookmakers’ top fluctuation on all metro thoroughbred meetings, guaranteeing you the absolute best price on all metro thoroughbred racing across Australia every Wednesday and Saturday.

Play of the day – Recieve higher than market odds on a selected runner every day for selected horse racing meetings. This offers punters some fantastic value for a favoured runner but comes with a $200 maximum bet limitation. During our time betting with them, this feature was one of our favourites.

Best Tote or Starting Price – PlayUp offers you the best price of the 3 major TABs, or the official starting price on all Australian thoroughbred meetings, whichever is higher every day. Not all bookmakers offer this product and it does provide a lot of added value to your bet selections payouts if you place a successful bet.

Protest Payout – If your horse is first past the post but is relegated due to a protest, Playup will payout on both the interim winner and the official winner ensuring that your bet is successful even if there is a protest for your race. This betting product is only available on Australian Thoroughbreds only.
