The Westio Sportsbook
Plenty of casino-first operators tack a sportsbook on as an afterthought. This one is a genuine part of the product: more than 40 sports, a live in-play section, a bet builder, cash out and a dedicated esports area, all running on the same account and wallet as the casino. You log in once, deposit once, and move between the pokies floor and a Friday night footy match without transferring funds.
The layout is clean. The left rail lists sports in order of popularity with Australian punters, the centre shows today's events and the bet slip sits on the right (or slides up from the bottom on mobile). Odds are shown in decimal format by default, and the slip handles singles, multis, same-game multis and system bets such as Trixies and Yankees. For a 2026 launch, the depth of markets on the AFL, NRL and the main racing meetings is better than we expected.
Sports Covered
Here are the eight sports that matter most to Australian punters and how each one is covered.
AFL
The centre of the book. Every AFL fixture is priced from round one to the Grand Final, with head-to-head, line, total points, first goalscorer, disposal markets and the bet builder on every game. Brownlow and premiership futures run all season.
Horse Racing
Daily thoroughbred cards from metropolitan, provincial and country tracks, with win and place betting, quinellas, exactas and trifectas. Carnival meetings such as the Melbourne Cup, the Cox Plate and The Everest get expanded futures markets.
Rugby League
Every NRL round plus State of Origin, with line betting, tryscorer markets and winning-margin bands. NRL is one of the busiest in-play competitions on the site through the winter months.
Cricket
Test, one-day and T20 cricket, including the Big Bash League, the Sheffield Shield and the major overseas franchise leagues. Markets cover match result, top batter, top bowler and session runs.
Tennis
ATP, WTA and Challenger events, with match, set and game betting, and expanded markets for the Australian Open each January. Prices move point by point, which makes tennis a busy in-play sport.
Basketball
The NBA leads, followed by the NBL and the EuroLeague. Point spreads, totals and player points are all available pre-match and live.
Football
The A-League, the English Premier League, the major European leagues and the Champions League, with big matches carrying well over a hundred markets, including player props, cards and corners.
Esports
A dedicated section for Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends and Valorant, with map winners, totals and live markets on the main tournaments.
Beyond these eight you will find rugby union, golf, boxing, MMA, darts, Supercars and Formula 1, American football, ice hockey, cycling and more — over 40 sports in total.
Live In-Play Betting
The in-play section lists every event currently running, grouped by sport, with a count of live markets on each. Prices update in real time and the slip confirms any odds change before you place the bet, so you are never accepted at a price you did not see.
Most live AFL, NRL and football matches show an animated match tracker with possession, inside-50s or attacking runs; tennis shows a point-by-point scoreboard. Cash out is offered on most singles and many multis, both in full and, on selected bets, as a partial cash out. Bet acceptance was quick in our testing, with only a short delay on scoring-sensitive markets — normal across the industry and designed to stop bets landing after the event has happened.
The in-play view also handles several games at once. You can pin multiple matches to a watchlist and follow their prices side by side, which is handy on a busy Saturday arvo when AFL and NRL games overlap with the afternoon races. Live AFL markets include next goalscorer, quarter result and winning margin; NRL adds next tryscorer; tennis offers next game and set winner; cricket covers runs in the next over. Bet acceptance is confirmed on screen and appears in your open bets straight away, with settlement normally within minutes of the market closing.
Welcome Sports Bonus
New Australian customers who choose the sports offer get a simple deal: bet A$15, get an A$15 free bet. Place a qualifying A$15 bet on any sport once your first deposit has cleared, and the free bet is credited after the qualifying bet settles.
- The free bet stake is not returned with any winnings — only the profit is paid.
- Minimum odds and the expiry date for the free bet are listed in the offer terms.
- Deposits by Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, PayID, bank transfer or crypto all qualify.
The sports offer is separate from the casino welcome package of 150% up to A$750 + 200 Free Spins, so check which one you are opting into at sign-up. The full rules for both are on the bonuses page, and the payments guide explains deposit and withdrawal times.
Mobile Sportsbook
There is no App Store or Google Play app, but the sportsbook runs as a progressive web app from Safari or Chrome and can be added to your home screen in a couple of taps. On a phone, the bet slip slides up from the bottom of the screen, the in-play list loads quickly over 4G and 5G, and the bet builder works with simple tap-to-add selections.
Notifications for settled bets and cash-out offers can be switched on in the browser. Because the casino and the sportsbook share one wallet, you can check a live score between hands at the live tables without logging in twice. Our mobile experience score for the whole site was 9.0.
The PWA is light on storage and updates itself automatically, so there is nothing to download when new features arrive. Deposit limits, bet history and self-exclusion tools all sit in the mobile account menu rather than being tucked away in the desktop version.
Responsible Sports Betting
Sports betting can feel like a game of skill, and that makes it easy to chase losses or punt more often than planned, especially with in-play markets open around the clock. The site provides a standard set of tools:
- Deposit limits by day, week or month, which also cover casino play.
- Reality checks, time-outs and account self-exclusion, with a link to the national BetStop register.
- A full bet history so you can see what you have actually staked and won.
Bet with money you can afford to lose and treat any free bet as a bonus, not a reason to stake more. Free, confidential help is available 24/7 from Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. You must be 18 or over, and identity and age checks are completed before your first withdrawal.
What's Next
The Westio sportsbook is a genuinely useful second half of the site rather than a token add-on: deep AFL, NRL and racing coverage, a solid in-play section with cash out, a bet builder for same-game multis and a proper esports area, all in one wallet with the casino. The welcome offer for Australian punters is easy to follow, with its terms set out in plain English.
If you want the casino side too, browse the pokies and the live casino, or compare offers on the bonuses page. Ready to have a punt? Open the sportsbook and claim your A$15 free bet. 18+ only. Gambling Help Online: 1800 858 858.
