Australian punters want a good deal, and this is something to consider when choosing a site. Good odds are of paramount importance now that free bets and welcome offers have been removed with new responsible gambling policies in place.
We at OLBG think this is a good thing and allows punters to select bookie based on its merits rather than how much it is giving away in deposit bonus offers depending on a qualifying deposit for your registration details.
Whilst no promotional or additional offers are available as an incentive to register a new account, once registered there are daily promotions and special offers available
New bookmakers in Australia come along more frequently than you might think, many don't make the grade, others may not be completely legal.

The time it takes from making a withdrawal request and receiving your money will fluctuate depending on 3 aspects
Each bookmaker can have a different policy when withdrawing funds from your account. Usually, and any reputable online bookie will process your withdrawal request either immediately or within 24 hours. it is rarely the case that it will take any longer than this unless there is a dispute of any kind
Something that is often blamed on the bookmaker is the time it takes for your to receive the money back into your bank account. However, if you use a bank transfer, debit or credit card like MasterCard or VISA, the bookie can process and authorize your withdrawal immediately and inform your bank. It then depends on how long your bank will take to transfer those funds to your account. This can be between 1-5 working days depending on the banking institute
Faster Withdrawals
Using Wallet solutions like PayPal, Neteller or Skrill will often see your money returned to hose accounts instantly and at worst within 24 hours.
Most bookmakers have a maximum withdrawal figure in place. This is not to stop you from getting your money but is a security measure to ensure that if someone gets into your account with the idea of stealing your money they can only get a maximum amount.
If you have a larger withdrawal than the maximum level you can contact customer service and discuss the matter with them. Do check the terms and conditions with bookmakers though, sometimes, for really big wins, and we are talking in the hundreds of thousands of dollars here, they may prefer to set up a payment plan where you get an agreed amount each month. This scenario is unlikely with the brands listed here on OLBG but smaller operators do have to look after cash flow business interests!
