We are heavy users of betting apps because they provide a superior experience to even betting on mobile websites. The main reason is that they are faster – and speed is everything when you are trying to punt on the go, or even at home when you’re trying to place a bet before an AFL or NRL game starts, or before the horses jump!
Our app testing looks at 15 separate criteria across both iOS and Android platforms (yes, sometimes they actually differ considerably!). We look at average load speeds, betting efficiency, account management, push notification quality (are they useful or are they just annoying?), and crash frequency over a 30-day testing period.
Our app scoring contributes 20% of each bookmaker’s overall rating – which reflects the importance of app betting as over 85% of Australian punters are betting on mobile devices.
The tables and ratings above have been updated in March 2026.
The best betting apps give punters fast load times and fast navigation – it’s really all about speed. You should be able to find what you want to bet on, place a bet and confirm it within 10 seconds – that’s our standard. Beyond speed, we also look features like a well-designed same-game multi builder (which are insanely popular right now), reliable cash out that works mid-game, and easy to your bet history and live bets.
Most Australian bookmakers offer near-identical experiences on both iOS and Android, but they aren’t always identical. We always test both iOS and Android because we have found some apps to be great on iOS but terrible on Android – and vice versa! If we find any differences, we will share them with punters so you are never caught off guard.
Our current top-rated and recommended betting apps in March 2026 are Dabble, Picklebet, EliteBet and Neds.
Dabble is our top-rated betting app (they are app-only) because they provide a truly flawless app betting experience and also one of the most unique betting platforms out there with their banter channels and other player-focused features. Picklebet, EliteBet and Neds are our other top-rated betting apps that provide really amazing app betting experiences, but lack the uniqueness that Dabble offers.
