NextBet Review

NextBet has acquired PlayUp and CrossBet and will deliver a brand new next-generation betting site for punters in Australia.

Read on below for our NextBet Australia bookmaker review, along with information on how to use the exclusive code BETS when signing up to secure access to existing promotions and offers.

The NextBet website will launch on March 1, so we will update this section then. But, we do know that NextBet will run on a new-and-improved version of the PlayUp betting software, so we are expecting a smooth, seamless and speedy betting experience.

The NextBet mobile betting app will also release on March 1 and be available to download on Android and Apple devices. For PlayUp users, the app will automatically update and transition to NextBet upon launch.

Setting up an account with NextBet will be quick and straightforward, with the process typically completed in just a couple of minutes.

Once NextBet launches, you can follow these instructions to register:

Once verified, you’ll be ready to access NextBet’s sports and racing markets immediately.

NextBet betting platform will provide broad market coverage across both sports and racing. For sports, punters can access markets on major domestic competitions such as the AFL, NRL and A-League alongside international leagues including Premier League soccer, NBA basketball, NFL, tennis and more.

A variety of betting options are offered, from traditional win-loss markets to advanced features like Same Game Multi, which lets users combine multiple selections within a single fixture, and live in-play betting that updates odds as events unfold. This ensures NextBet caters to both casual sports fans and more engaged bettors seeking deeper market exposure.

On the racing front, NextBet maintains comprehensive coverage of Australian thoroughbred, harness and greyhound meetings, featuring both tote and fixed-odds betting on all domestic cards. International racecards from jurisdictions including the UK, Ireland, USA and France are also supported, giving punters access to a global racing schedule.

Enhanced racing tools - such as form guides, speed maps, tempo projections and live stable reports - are expected to assist decision-making, while features like Same Race Multi allow multiple runner selections within the same event. Together, these offerings position NextBet as a full-service bookmaker with robust options for racing and sport alike.

NextBet will processes withdrawal requests on business days, with daily cut-off times applying to same-day handling. Requests submitted before the designated morning deadline are typically actioned that afternoon, while those lodged later may roll into the next processing cycle.

Most standard withdrawals are completed within approximately 48-72 hours, depending on the selected payout method and banking provider. Processing times can vary slightly during peak periods or public holidays.
