I’ve always had a soft spot for keeping my bets local. Maybe it’s the sense of familiarity, or maybe it’s because I grew up watching my dad yell at the TV during AFL games, but there’s just something about an Australian-owned bookmaker that feels right. When I first heard about BlueBet, I was intrigued—an Aussie-run platform backed by Michael Sullivan, a guy with decades in the industry? Sign me up. But then along came Betr, making headlines left and right. With BlueBet and Betr now in partnership, I had to dig in and see how they compare.
One of the standout features for me was the Same Game Multi. I’m a sucker for building a few fun multis when my Melbourne Demons are playing, and it made game nights even more exciting. Then there’s BlueBoost, which gives you enhanced odds on selected bets—nothing groundbreaking, but a nice touch when you’re looking to squeeze extra value.
What caught me off guard, though, was the social betting element. I have a couple of mates who also use BlueBet, and being able to track their bets (and have a bit of friendly banter when they lose) made things a lot more entertaining. It’s small things like this that make BlueBet feel a bit more personal.
Where Betr really stands out is micro-betting. I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first—who needs to bet on every single ball in a cricket match? But after giving it a go, I can see the appeal. If you love the adrenaline rush of in-the-moment betting, Betr has some interesting options.
That said, I still think BlueBet is the better pick if you want a more traditional, straightforward betting experience that covers all the Aussie sports you care about. Betr might have the fancy micro-betting features, but if that’s not your thing, BlueBet’s reliability and ease of use make it a strong choice.
