PlayUp Sports

Key Features

One of the major strengths of PlayUp is the racing service which is one of the best in the market serving Australia. The site and mobile app offers horse racing, greyhounds and harness racing from meetings in Australia, New Zealand and several other racing countries. The racebook sits alongside a sportsbook with markets for over 20 of the most popular betting sports.

PlayUp owns Dratfstars and the ‘Fantasy’ option on the main menu takes users to the DFS platform. Registered account holders can initially play for free and then compete against other players in Australia. The highest pools are for competitions in horse racing, English Premier Football, the Big Bash in cricket and the NFL. In-play betting is permissible by telephone.

Pros

  • Fully integrated racebook, sportsbook and fantasy sports.
  • Comprehensive horse, harness racing and greyhounds coverage.
  • Pre-match and futures markets for over 20 sports.
  • Telephone in-play betting.
  • Substantial DFS prize pools.
  • Promotions for existing customers.

Cons

  • Website not optimised for mobile.
  • Only early prices for weekend racing.

Promotions

Customers must login to view PlayUp’ s range of ongoing promotions for existing customers. Bonus bets and ‘Play of the Day’ offers are activated by contacting customer support. In line with gambling laws in Australia, PlayUp does not offer a welcome match deposit or bet bonus for new customers.

Even though fixed odds for horse racing are only available the night before meetings on Saturday, PlayUp offers the best Tote odds for Starting Price win bets. PlayUp promises the best odds for all the main metropolitan venues from Wednesday to Saturday. Harness racing and greyhounds fixed odds match Mid Tote dividends at all venues.

The Playbook feature is an excellent resource for tips and previews. Experts give an in-depth analysis of a race or sporting event. Horse racing and greyhounds are covered, but not harness racing. The sports tips are mainly for cricket, NRL, AFL and the NBA. A good enhancement would be soccer.
