Did I miss an email?

We suspected this was coming with them applying for their Aussie Licence but I didn't see any official word from them. Went to place a live bet in the Djokovic match and got the dreaded phone # pop up. Such a sad day

It could be worse, at least they are not kicking out Aussie punters like 188bet.

Yeah that was just silly. Bet365 applied for an Aussie licence though a few months ago and then blocked us from the casino and games section, so this isn't a big shock. Just would've been nice to have some notice and for it not to happen during the SF's of a Grand Slam ffs.

[MatI]

Yep, terrible terrible day. I need a valium.

[shari91]

We need to come up with an alternate plan of action Matty. This will probably be a big dent profit wise for me.

[MatI]

Yeah, me too. It is devastating! I will still make a few plays on the phone, but it is nowhere near as convenient. I love gambling while at work, no way I can phone up though.

Do we have any other sports book options?

[brucethebear]

Hey Shari,

Try William hill.
(I am not with them, but I know a bunch of guys who are.)
This is probably where I am heading.

They booted me a couple of years ago but I guess I'll have to try my luck again. Mat: That might be our only option??

BetFred may cover your need for in-play betting

I'll have to take a look.

Someone's on live chat with SBOBet at the moment asking if they allow it and they said yes. But I'm making them confirm they mean online live betting and not just phoning it in.

[shari91]

sbobet's a go!!! "Up to the customer to know their own laws"

[brettels]

When I said may I meant depending what bet types you wanted but they will definately accept your bets in-play have already done so myself, I've also been tempted to test SBO, betfred is pretty good in my opinion though!

[Mikail]

that is lame. who has time to call in live bets during matches?

[brettels]

just checked the in-play style on SBO and i already favour betfred, there is also totesport will accept in-play , totesport payment is an issue though as they woudn't wire a withdrawal and sent a check which took 20 days to clear as well as 3-4 weeks to arrive in the mail.

[brettels]

I'll add gamebookers to the list of options, though i haven't played there for a year so not sure if they still do.

[brettels]

Jetbull too (if you trust oddsmatrix companies)

There is a long list, they wont provide the live betting variety and service like 365 does but some can come very close, one day they may even be better.

I'd recommend taking some time to familiarize yourself with the SBObet live betting layout and rules.

It is quite different from 365 or any other UK book.

It took me a little while to get used to it after using Centrebet & Ladbrokes for live bets.

Yeah, I had looked at them a few weeks ago after JJ was bugging me to give them a try and I was just lost for awhile. Even tonight when I looked during the Djokovic match I was seeing odds of like 0.50 Djoko, 1.50 Murray or something and a handicap of 6.50. I could understand it when I thought about it but that's not really ideal when you're trying to bet quickly. He did say though once you make an account you can customise the odds so it makes more sense but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to give it a try for myself before depositing.

And thank you brettels... I'm going to have to do some investigating tomorrow and see what's actually going to work. Mainly I need it for tennis but I realise I'll never find the options 365 offered across all matches unless I pull a few dodgies and I'm just not willing to go there at this point.

[brettels]

Shari i think you should try gamebookers.com they even have a challenger match coming up for in-play (bemelman vs pospisil) so they probably have alot for you, that is if they still let aussies do it live, they did some time back when i tried them out and didn't really have an issue with them i just don't live bet much! If not them, betfred. I'm taking a punt you may really like one of those two, probably game bookers cause they cover more tennis matches.

[showtiime]

I thought they had limited me

[shari91]

I thought they had limited me

Yeah I'm pretty stunned. They send out an email 2wks in advance to say you can't play Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Trivia anymore, but no one thinks to give the heads up about this? I can't bash them from a business pt of view because they're 100% doing what they should although I have a feeling they'll be processing quite a few Aussie withdrawals in the next day or two. However selfishly it just sucks not to have those options available.

It's all good though show... we'll find others. At least the guys in here have suggested quite a few possible alternatives and I'm going to check them out tomorrow. It's going to be a bit of a buzzkill not having my deuce?/break? option but I'll adjust until I leave here. If you hear of anywhere good that hasn't been mentioned, please post.

[MatI]

Thanks for the info everyone.

I will def be sussing out these books in the next couple of days and hopeully opening some accounts if I like what I see. It sounds like none of these mentioned will have the same amount of options as B365, but better than nothing!

Thanks again.

Doesn't matter where you are from if you live in Australia you can only bet live at betfair by phone

Actually it doesn't matter where you live.

If you are physically within Australia you can't bet online inplay (except for racing).

Similarly, if you are an Aussie visiting the US.

[brettels]

So did I say something wrong hareeba!? Sounds like you are trying to correct me, or maybe I'm not able o comprehend your hareeblish again!

Well, seeing as you asked, Yes.

You can live in Australia but if you are not physically within Australia, the US, France or other restricted countries I believe you can bet online in-play.

You just added more to what I said, which wasn't wrong in the first place. Pull your head out of your ass.

I suggest you take some lessons in English comprehension.

What you actually said was that if I live in Australia I have to phone my bets in.

That is not necessarily true as if I am visiting NZ or the UK for example I can place them online.

[brettels]

Did i say anything about not being able to while in another country? Once again, pull your friggen head out of your ass schmuck!!!!

I realise that this is beyond your comprehension but for the benefit of more intelligent readers of this thread following are your words:

"if you live in Australia you can only bet live at betfair by phone"

I live in Australia.

If I cross the ditch for a brief holiday I can bet on line in-play.

[brettels]

I didn't mention if you were a resident of the country but "across the ditch" , learn to comprehend english yourself you fool.
