SBOBET is a bookmaker that has operations in Asia licensed by the Philippines and Europe, and operates as an international sports bookmaker. It offers a large variety of sports events and has an excellent mobile betting app. Its website is easy to navigate and the odds are competitively priced. However, the house edge is high. No gambling site will survive long if it consistently pays out more than it takes in.

SBOBet’s interface is highly customisable and allows you to tailor the layout to your liking. It also features a unique feature that locks in higher odds should the market move in your favour before a bet is processed. This is a great feature and one that we wish all other bookmakers would adopt.

In terms of available markets, SBOBET isn’t as deep as some of the larger bookmakers and doesn’t offer a wide range of football leagues. In addition, it doesn’t list markets for a number of major countries including the USA and Hong Kong. This may be a turnoff for some punters.

SBOBET accepts Australian residents as long as they are over 18 years old and provide scanned copies of their Medicare card and driver’s licence upon sign up. In addition, they must provide proof of address. This is a legal requirement for all online betting agencies and helps prevent money laundering. For this reason, we recommend that Australians play at reputable bookmakers who are licensed in Australia.
