Cricket Betting Sites Australia
For cricket, the standout on our data is bet365, scoring 9.6 for market coverage and 9.5 for sports depth — the widest set of markets across Big Bash, Test matches and international series. But it isn't the best-priced. On sampled odds, Ladbrokes (54.7% best-price share) and Unibet (56.0%) topped the field for winning the best price most often, while Sportsbet ran the lowest average margin at 4.9%. All the bookmakers below hold Australian wagering licences and support PayID, so the real decision is depth of markets versus price versus live features. This page breaks that down for cricket specifically.
Topping this list for product depth, bet365 pairs a 9.6 market-coverage score with 9.5 sports depth and a 9.3-rated app, plus live streaming and bet-builder tools few rivals here match. Payments span Visa, Mastercard, PayID and Apple Pay from a $10 minimum, with withdrawals inside 0–24 hours. Its 0.074 average margin sits highest here, though. Choose bet365 if broad markets, live streaming and a polished app matter more than sharpest pricing.
Sportsbet runs the tightest average margin on this list at 0.049, backed by a 9.0-rated app and the broadest payment mix among peers here — PayID, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay. NTRC-licensed with a 9.0 safety score, it offers bet-builder, fast-payout and 0–24h withdrawals from $10. Best-price share is lower at 16%. Choose Sportsbet if a slim margin, a strong app and flexible payments suit your betting.
Ladbrokes leads on value, landing the best price on 55% of sampled markets with a competitive 0.057 margin across 251 lines. NTRC-licensed with a strong 9.2 safety score, it covers PayID, Visa and Mastercard from $10 and clears withdrawals within 0–24 hours. Live streaming, cash-out and bet-builder round out the offering. Choose Ladbrokes if consistently topping the price on a wide sample of markets is your priority.
Unibet posts the highest best-price share on this list at 57% across 246 sampled markets, edging even Ladbrokes on raw value. Licensed by the NTRC with a 9.0 safety rating, it keeps a tidy 0.059 margin and settles withdrawals in 0–24 hours from a $10 minimum. Note payments cover only PayID and Visa. Choose Unibet if price-per-bet is what you chase and card variety is a minor concern.
PointsBet stands out for its fast-payout feature alongside a solid 8.3 app rating and one of the leaner margins here at 0.056. NTRC-regulated with an 8.8 safety mark, it takes PayID, Visa and Mastercard from $10 and processes withdrawals within 0–24 hours. Best-price share sits at a modest 25% across 48 markets. Choose PointsBet if quick cash-outs and a capable mobile app rank above market breadth.
Neds carries the strongest best-price share among the mid-pack here at 38% across 56 markets, paired with fast-payout functionality and an 8.5 app rating. NTRC-licensed with an 8.8 safety score, it accepts PayID, Visa and Mastercard from $10 and clears withdrawals within 0–24 hours. Its 0.058 margin stays competitive. Choose Neds if you want sharper-than-average value plus quick withdrawals in a straightforward mobile package.
TAB brings established name recognition under state-authority oversight, earning a 9.1 safety rating and steady 8.4 scores across market coverage and app. It supports PayID, Visa and Mastercard from $10, with withdrawals inside 0–24 hours and a 0.060 average margin over 56 sampled markets. Best-price share reaches 27%. Choose TAB if you want a familiar, well-regulated operator with reliable everyday coverage rather than standout pricing.
TopSport differentiates itself with Bank Transfer support alongside PayID and Visa, and a comparatively strong 8.3 withdrawals score under NTRC licensing. Its 8.6 safety rating is solid, though the 7.6 app score and lack of cash-out or bet-builder trail rivals here, and no best-price sample is available. Withdrawals run 0–24 hours from a $10 minimum. Choose TopSport if bank transfer payments and dependable payout handling matter most to you.
betr keeps things streamlined with live betting, cash-out and fast-payout, running a $10 minimum and 0–24h withdrawals under NTRC licensing. Its 8.6 safety score and 8.2 app rating trail the leaders, best-price share sits at 15% across 53 markets, and its 0.063 margin is among the wider ones here. Payments cover only PayID and Visa. Choose betr if a simple, fast-payout setup outweighs pricing or wide payment options.
PlayUp offers a pared-back experience built around live and mobile betting, without cash-out or bet-builder found elsewhere on this list. NTRC-licensed with an 8.5 safety rating, it takes PayID and Visa from $10 and handles withdrawals in 0–24 hours. Best-price share is the lowest here at 14% and the app rates 7.9. Choose PlayUp if you want a basic, no-frills mobile account and few extras.
Why Cricket is a different ranking
10 licensed Australia operators match Cricket. The parent page ranks the whole market; this one only keeps books that clear both filters.
Cricket coverage on this page is judged against the leagues Australia bettors actually price: Big Bash, Test Matches. bet365 leads measured market coverage (9.6/10) and live product (9.4/10) among the listed books.
On sampled Cricket prices, Unibet holds the best available line 63% of the time. Average margin across this Cricket cut is 5.7% — a different number from the unfiltered country ranking.
Quick answer: which cricket bookmaker suits you
- **Widest cricket markets:** bet365 — 9.5 sports depth, 9.6 market coverage, plus live streaming and Bet Builder.
- **Best-priced on our sample:** Ladbrokes and Unibet won the best available price on roughly 55% of sampled markets.
- **Tightest margins:** Sportsbet at 4.9% average margin across its sample, with a 9.0-rated app.
- **In-play cricket:** bet365 leads live capability at 9.4; Unibet (8.4) and Sportsbet (8.2) follow.
- **PayID and quick cashouts:** every operator listed supports PayID with withdrawals quoted at 0–24h.
Cricket rewards patience on price. Series like the Sri Lanka v India and Australia v Bangladesh Tests run for days, so shopping the best line on your player runs, top batter or match result markets adds up more than on a one-off fixture.
How we ranked cricket betting sites
Our scores are category ratings (odds, market coverage, sports depth, live capability, Bet Builder, licence safety, payments, withdrawals, app, features, support) combined with sampled odds metrics: best-price share (how often a bookmaker offered the top price) and average margin (lower is better for punters).
For cricket specifically we weight market coverage and sports depth heavily, because BBL and Test markets differ wildly between bookmakers — some list only match result and top batter, others carry method-of-dismissal, session runs, player milestones and multi-innings props. We also lean on live capability, since limited-overs and Test cricket both suit in-play staking.
The odds-metric samples vary in size. Ladbrokes (258 sampled) and Unibet (243) have large samples, so their high best-price shares are well supported. bet365 (30), Sportsbet (44) and PointsBet (51) were sampled less, so treat those figures as directional rather than definitive.
The best cricket betting sites compared
**bet365** — Ratings: market coverage 9.6, sports depth 9.5, live capability 9.4, app 9.3, licence safety 9.5. The deepest cricket book here, with Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder, Live Streaming and Mobile Betting all listed. Payments include Visa, Mastercard, PayID and Apple Pay; withdrawals quoted 0–24h. Its sampled best-price share was 23.3% with a 7.4% average margin — decent, not market-leading on price. Choose it for the widest range of cricket markets; look elsewhere if getting the top line matters more than breadth.
**Ladbrokes** — Ratings: odds 7.6, market coverage 8.4, licence safety 9.2 (NTRC-licensed). On our largest sample it won the best price 54.7% of the time at a 5.8% average margin — the strongest value profile of the well-known brands. Features include Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming; PayID, Visa and Mastercard supported. Choose it if consistent price wins matter and you want streaming.
**Unibet** — Ratings: live capability 8.4, payments 8.5, licence safety 9.0. Best-price share of 56.0% on a 243-market sample, 5.8% average margin — essentially neck-and-neck with Ladbrokes on value. Same core kit: Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder, Live Streaming. Payments limited to PayID and Visa. A strong pick for value-focused cricket punters who don't need Mastercard.
**Sportsbet** — Ratings: app 9.0, sports depth 8.6, Bet Builder 8.3. Lowest average margin in the group at 4.9%, though on a smaller 44-market sample and a low 15.9% best-price share. Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder and Fast Payout listed; supports PayID, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay. Good for app-first punters who value tight base margins and a solid Bet Builder for cricket multis.
**TAB** — Ratings: sports depth 8.4, licence safety 9.1 (state authorities). Best-price share 27.1%, 6.0% average margin. Live Betting, Cash Out and Mobile Betting. A dependable, established option; margins are middling.
**Neds** — Ratings: app 8.5, market coverage 7.9. Best-price share 35.6% at 5.9% margin — better value than the smaller-brand field. Live Betting, Cash Out, Fast Payout; PayID, Visa, Mastercard.
**PointsBet** — Ratings: withdrawals 8.2, app 8.3. Sampled 23.5% best-price share, 5.6% margin. Live Betting, Cash Out and Fast Payout, but no Bet Builder in its listed features, so cricket multis are simpler here.
**betr** — Ratings: app 8.2, licence safety 8.6. Best-price share 12.5%, 6.2% margin — weaker on both counts in this sample. Live Betting, Cash Out, Fast Payout; PayID and Visa only.
**PlayUp** — Ratings: app 7.9, market coverage 7.3. Best-price share 13.6%, 5.9% margin. Live Betting and Mobile Betting only — no Cash Out or Bet Builder listed, so it's a leaner cricket offering.
**TopSport** — Ratings: withdrawals 8.3, support 8.0. Live Betting and Fast Payout, with Bank Transfer, PayID and Visa. Note: no iOS app (Android only), so iPhone users should skip it.
Big Bash vs Test cricket: what changes
Market depth and staking style differ between the formats.
**Big Bash (BBL):** Fast, high-variance T20s. Popular markets include match result, top batter/bowler, total sixes, first-innings runs and player performance props. In-play swings are sharp, so live capability and quick Cash Out matter — bet365 (9.4 live) and Sportsbet lead here. Bet Builder is handy for combining a top batter with a team total.
**Test matches:** Multi-day fixtures like Sri Lanka v India, England v Pakistan and Australia v Bangladesh open up session runs, lead after first innings, method of dismissal, series result and draw markets. Because prices sit live for hours, value-focused punters benefit most from the higher best-price shares at Ladbrokes and Unibet. Draw is a live outcome in Tests, which many limited-overs-only punters overlook.
Payments, withdrawals and licensing
Every operator here is licensed under Australian arrangements — most under the NT Racing Commission (NTRC), with TAB under state authorities. You must be 18 or over to bet. We verify only what the licence data states; we don't test deposits or withdrawals ourselves.
**PayID** is universal across this list and is the quickest route for topping up before a session. Card options (Visa, Mastercard) are widespread; Apple Pay is listed at bet365 and Sportsbet; TopSport adds Bank Transfer. Minimum deposit is $10 across the board.
All ten quote withdrawals at 0–24h. Fast Payout is a listed feature at Sportsbet, PointsBet, Neds, betr and TopSport — worth prioritising if you cash out mid-series and want funds back promptly.
How we rank
Every operator on this page went through the same checklist before it could be listed for Australia: we verify the licence against the regulator's public register, document the payment methods, minimum deposits and published withdrawal windows, review the apps and measure everyday odds against our live feed. Safety and payout reliability carry the heaviest weight in the final score, followed by payment coverage, app quality and pricing. If a site fails licence verification, it isn't ranked lower — it's excluded. This page re-weights the same checklist for Cricket: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
