CrownBet have made their long-awaited return to Australia’s betting scene, signalling the comeback of one of the country’s most recognisable wagering brands.
Once a major force in the Australian market, CrownBet disappeared after transitioning into BetEasy in 2018 before the brand was ultimately absorbed by Sportsbet in 2020.
Now from February 2026, the name is being revived under Betfair Australia, part of Crown Resorts, and powered by BetMakers Technology for a modern fixed-odds sportsbook built around speed, reliability and a premium user experience.
Through BetMakers’ advanced technology stack, customers will enjoy a sophisticated betting interface featuring extensive racing coverage, major sports markets and full tote integration.
Underpinned by a five-year technology partnership between Betfair and BetMakers, the new CrownBet aims to re-establish itself as one of Australia’s leading online bookmakers, blending the brand’s trusted legacy with contemporary performance and product depth.
New customers will be able to enter the promo code BETS when creating an account. Continue reading below for our full review of CrownBet’s return.
