How to get the best bonus bets in NSW?

You can’t. Unfortunately, the NSW government has stepped in with extreme measures to protect you from yourself. If you are trying to decide which betting agency to join you should use our quiz which will tell you which betting agency is right for you based on their features and individual strengths.

Sportsbet NSW

Sportsbet NSW is the same as all the other states of Australia except for one key difference – you cannot get the sweet bonuses and promo bets in NSW. It is a shame because Sportsbet has some of the best promotions going around, in particular, their AFL and NRL 24 points up early payout.

Bonus Bet Offers NSW

If you are trying to figure out how to get the best bonus bets in NSW, you are going to be disappointed. You can’t get them anymore. There are now laws that also effect affiliate sites so be very wary of anyone who claims to be able to get you a bonus bet in New South Wales. They are lying. NSW bonus bet offers are gone.

Bet 365 Bonus Code

There used to be a great bonus code that was “MAXBONUS” which got you nearly $700 in bonus bets but unfortunately Bet365 is not allowed to offer New South Wales customers anything anymore. If it was up to them, they would do it but since they were fined $2.75 million in the federal court for free bets back in January 2014 they just can’t.

Free bets for NSW residents

Free bets for NSW residents have been stopped by legislation called the Betting and Racing Act 1998 and the Totalizator Act 1997  The update comes into effect on 1st July 2018. We are betting free bets in NSW won’t be back any time soon! Sorry New South Wales.

NSW Bonus bet offers

The reason people looked for NSW bonus bet offers was usually because they were trying to promo arb the bookies. How many normal customers do you think hunt for specific bonus offers across all bookmakers? They did it for good reason too, you used to be able to turn all of the bonus bets into cash. Unfortunately, it cannot be done anymore in New South Wales.

Free Bet NSW

By now we think you get the picture, if you are looking for free bet offer in NSW you are going to be sorely disappointed because from 1st July 2018 the new New South Wales government legislation stops betting agencies offering them to you.

NSW minimum bet limits, rules and laws.

The one shining light for New South Wales punters is the leading role Racing NSW played in establishing minimum bet rules for bookmakers. In a win for the successful punters who had their accounts limited the government stepped in and made bookmakers accept up to $2000 win bets for metro race meets and $1000 win bets for regional race meetings.

NSW Free Bet Legislation

From Monday 2 July 2018, the NSW prohibition on offering any inducement to participate in any gambling activity, including an inducement to open a betting account or to bet more frequently, will be strengthened to also prohibit any inducement offered with a disclaimer. At the same time, penalties for offences will be significantly increased and directors and other corporate officers of a betting service provider may be held liable for any breaches of the gambling advertising restrictions.

These provisions will now be found in Parts 4A and 4B of the Betting and Racing Act 1998 and Part 7 of the Totalizator Act 1997.

It is the responsibility of the betting service provider to ensure prohibited gambling advertising is not published or communicated in NSW. The responsibility for ensuring compliance will be borne by the betting service provider.

Betting service providers will be able to replace non- compliant advertising with advertising that complies with the changes. Betting service providers will also be able to continue to advertise offers directly to betting account holders
