This review is on the Australian based Centrebet bookmaker that is licensed in the Northern Territory. Centrebet can boast to being Australia’s first licensed bookmaker way back in 1992. Four years later they began offering online betting making them the first to do so in the Southern Hemisphere. SportsOdds bought up Centrebet in 2003. By 2011 the bookmaker was sold to Sportingbet who turned around and sold out to William Hill in 2013.

Due to gaming laws in Australian only sports events and racing events are offered to Aussie’s. However, what they do offer is done well and it has made them one of the most popular bookmakers in Oz.

Let’s review Centrebet and explore what they have to offer Australian Punters.
