Sportingbet offers a huge range of markets in racing and sports, while giving their customers more than just an internet service.
One of the big advantages of the Sportingbet service is their free mobile odds facility. It gives the latest odds and "click to call" links to allow customers to easily contact Sportingbet's call centre to place bets.

New customers to Sportingbet can take advantage of the company's free bet offer. The Join and Fund free bet promotion means that new members who open and fund their account with a minimum of $30 will receive a $100 free bet on any sports or racing market available at the time of placement.

The company pride themselves on offering a comprehensive sports betting service, across sports as diverse as European ice hockey and mixed martial arts. They are taking bets on the next soccer World Cup, in 2010, where they make Brazil favourites at 5.50.

Sportingbet offer a range of special bets, two of which cover Friday night matches. Any customer taking a minimum $10 bet on the first try scorer market in a Friday NRL or Super 14 match will receive a 100% bonus on their winnings.

Another offer gives customers taking a minimum $10 four-leg multi bet via the internet, which is a winner, a free $20 bet.

Sportingbet are sponsors of the Brisbane Broncos, and customers can take advantage by taking their offered $21 about them winning the premiership up to a maximum stake of $50.
In racing, Sportingbet has a MaxiDiv bet which guarantees a dividend that is at least the better of the highest official win dividend paid by the three national TABs or the official starting price. This bet is available on both the internet and telephone for all metropolitan thoroughbred races for win only and win/place wagers.

Another feature of the site is the Starting Price Insurance, which is available on all listed group races and guarantees that if the official SP is greater than the fixed price taken, the higher of the two dividends will be paid for the win portion.

Among the greyhound options is the Greyhound Box Challenge, which provides a market on the winning box at certain venues. Using the 3-2-1 points system for placegetters over the entire meeting, punters can have a wager on the box or rug colour they think holds the most chance of accumulating points over that selected meeting.

Sportingbet quote North Melbourne at 34.00 to win the flag in the AFL; they go 1.58 about Queensland to win the State of Origin this year; their odds on Phil Mickelson to win the US Masters are 8.50.
