Picklebet is among Australia’s top betting sites, particularly for Esports, and is renowned for its ease of use and fresh ideas.
Founded in 2017 and launching in Australia three years later, Picklebet set out with the aim to dominate Esports betting, providing credible advice and Esports news to their clients.
It has since added sports and racing betting - including betting on all three racing codes - and continues to grow.
Picklebet offers some of the most competitive odds across stacks of markets and I found the simple but effective website layout makes switching between the high quantity of Esports and sports betting options straightforward.
The use of modern graphics have proven successful in attracting a younger audience, and Picklebet is fast becoming one of the most trusted and well supported bookmakers in the country.
Below, we take a look at Picklebet’s offerings for some of the most popular sports to bet on in Australia.
There are plenty of betting options for both Big Bash and international cricket betting.
Picklebet realises the growing popularity of the Big Bash League, and it has got all BBL fans out there covered.
Supporters of the condensed version of the bat-and-ball game can wager on the winner (including the super over), player wickets, most fours and sixes, player runs and wickets, and home and away first dismissals among others.
Colour team graphics alongside betting options add to the fun for all cricket punters.
And betting on head-to-head results or individual player achievements is easy – just click on the player or team name and add your stake amount, then you can submit your bet.
Picklebet offers an excellent array of betting options for soccer leagues around the world, including the top leagues in Australia, England, and across Europe and Asia.
Fans of soccer betting sites will find themselves well accounted for with Picklebet, with a stack of individual and team wagering options available.
There's an abundance of player-specific markets available, such as goalscorer and assist options, which are featured as options in the same-game multi markets for A-League and European matches.
With the range of A-League options available, Australian soccer is without a doubt one of the best sports to bet on with Picklebet.
This review was conducted during the off-season in the AFL and I was disappointed to find no futures betting available on one of Australia's most popular sports.
Previous experience with Picklebet tells me they have plenty of AFL betting markets available during the season, both for matches and futures bettors.
The usual match markets, such as line bets and totals, are available on Picklebet, who also offer AFL same game multis.
Picklebet gives the punter a healthy variety of rugby union competitions to wager on, including the English Premiership, Japan’s League One and Top 14 in France.
English Premiership options include who’s ahead at halftime/fulltime, winning margins and additional markets, such as the highest-scoring half.
There are no individual player markets available, but the variety of team wagering options means rugby fans will have a lot of fun using Picklebet as their website or app of choice.
There were no NRL betting markets listed during the Australian summer, but when the season is on, there's usually a good selection of match and futures markets to be found.

Picklebet offers a Same-Game Multi (SGM) tool on major professional sports, including soccer, American football, cricket and Aussie rules.
All you need for a SGM is just two selections from the same event, which are easy to add to your online betting slip.
You do this by clicking on the Multi slip on the top right-hand corner of the page.
You can also place multiple SGMs and, unlike some horse racing betting sites, there's the option to place same race multis too.

The Picklebet mobile betting app uses striking black and green colours, which makes it stand out from its competitors.
It is easy to sign up, use and navigate, with a big range of markets on racing, sports and Esports in both Australia and overseas.
I found there to be a strong focus on Esports in the app, with live streams available on all manner of competitions, but those looking to bet on other sports are also well catered for.
The Aussie-owned brand has won lots of praise from users of its betting app, which scores highly on Apple's App Store with a 4.6 rating - way above the average for betting apps,

My experience with Picklebet's customer service was largely positive. There is a live chat option, where punters can receive answers to any betting queries they might have, and an email address for those less urgent matters.
Before contacting the customer service team, punters may wish to try the FAQ section of Picklebet, which has a search bar and features answers to all the more commonly asked questions.
Picklebet’s betting rules, terms and conditions are also easily accessible after clicking on the document icon on the left-hand side of the homepage.
Under the header Chances Are You’re About To Lose, punters are given a clear warning about the perils of gambling beyond their means on the Picklebet homepage.
There's a range of safer gambling tools that can be applied to a bettor's account to help them stay in control, including deposit limits, unsubscribing from marketing, temporarily suspending your account and self exclusion.
They are also given a support line to ring and a website to visit, with both being free and confidential.
If you need help managing your funds while betting with Picklebet, ring 1800 858 858, or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.

If you’re an Esports enthusiast, you can’t go wrong with Picklebet.
Picklebet started with an Esports focus, giving the bookmaker a point of difference from its competitors. The company also provides live streaming for gaming bettors as well.
Subsequently, since expanding, Picklebet now has you covered across all three racing codes, and I was impressed with the wide range of local and international betting markets.
Furthermore, Picklebet’s simple website design with modern graphics appeals to those new on the sports betting scene.
The number of betting options and markets available for certain sports could be higher, but this bookmaker still offers a good variety of events to punt on, while leading the way on Esports wagering.
So if you are an Esports enthusiast who also loves a wager on all the major sports and racing codes, this is the site for you.
Picklebet has a relatively small number of deposit and withdrawal options available and doesn't offer PayPal betting. Instead, punters can use a debit card, bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Picklebet only has two options available to bettors looking to take money out of their account. They can either perform a bank transfer, or if they are using New Zealand dollars, they can use Skrill.
Picklebet takes it's responsible gambling pledge seriously and there's lot of help on hand for those that need it. To help users stay in control, they can apply deposit limits, take a break, close their account or exclude themselves from all online gambling services.
