"Wide racing coverage"

I have had fun with my betting experience with this site when doing the necessary research to compile this BetProfessor review. Of course there is the zany mad professor theme that permeates throughout both the App and the website, but more than that I have really enjoyed the simplicity and the innovative Blended and Even Shot features in particular. Both these features open up a lot of different options for you as a punter and I think they are a real plus!!
The BetProfessor App is also super simple and as someone who uses apps a lot for betting this is another big tick for me.
Throughout the review I have made mention of the fact that there are some areas in which BetProfessor does come up short - no live betting, limited banking options, light on form analysis etc. However, I wouldn’t let these dissuade anyone from signing up and having a go for yourself. In fact I’d encourage you to do exactly that - have a go for yourself!!
Sign up to BetProfessor via the link here and have a play and see what you think. I’ve had a lot of fun with it and I think there’s every chance you should too!
My Rating: 7/10
BetProfessor's laboratory is bubbling with a wide array of betting concoctions:
Banking options are definitely pretty limited:
While these options get the job done for you, the limited variety might not appeal to those punters who are generally accustomed, and prefer, a broader spectrum of payment methods.
Compared to other available betting apps, the BetProfessor app is a decent effort in terms of efficient mobile betting:
While it doesn't overcomplicate with excessive flair, the app's focus on core functionalities ensures a top-grade mobile betting experience.
BetProfessor's user experience can be summarised as follows:
BetProfessor's approach to customer inquiries includes:
This digital-first strategy ensures efficient and effective support, though it's worth noting the absence of phone support, a feature that some might prefer for immediate and personal assistance.
BetProfessor operates within the strict confines of Australian regulatory standards, ensuring a level of security that's as solid as the foundation of any reputable institution. This commitment to maintaining a secure platform is evident in:

So BetProfessor is another one of the new betting sites on the ever popular Bet Cloud platform. Themed along the lines of a ‘Mad Professor’ the graphics are kind of fun, with lime green and a bright lilac purple dominating. Whilst being fairly visually engaging, I am not so sure how strong the branding / theme is, and what the relevance is to a betting site, especially when compared to some of the other sites on the BetCloud platform.
But all that aside, I have undertaken a BetProfessor review of the site to give readers a comprehensive overview from which to make a call as to whether or not to sign up and start betting with this new betting site on the block.
In so doing I will cover off some key areas to consider including a review of the App, the various products and features, how to register for an account and details on banking options amongst others.
I think the most striking thing about BetProfessor, launched in Victoria in August 2023, is the focus on simplicity and ease of use for the user. Whilst I might not be sure of the overall relevance of the theme, the colours are visually striking and do lend themselves to an overall clean and tidy user interface experience. This, and the fact that there are some excellent and compelling products / features on the site, lead me to give an overall thumbs up to BetProfessor and I suggest you read on for more details.
BetProfessor offers an extensive range of racing markets, covering both Australian and international races. Take a look at the overview I’ve put together below:
While BetProfessor's racing section covers essential betting options, it's worth noting the platform does not currently offer live betting or cash out features, which may put off some punters. Another area where the Professor is a little light on is that of form. If you like your betting platform to offer extensive form and / or tips then you’ll need to look elsewhere like the resources on our very own OnlyRacing and the excellent and regular free horse racing tips that you’ll find on here.
The app is visually dominated by the mad professor each and every time you login, which certainly adds a unique and engaging twist to your betting experience. The app's design blends elements of science and experimentation with your betting making it anything but boring!
As regards the key features and overall app experience, I have to say the app itself is super easy to use and makes for a very smooth time when betting. I’ve highlighted below what I feel are the key features that make that so:
While the BetProfessor app excels in delivering a fun, themed and user-friendly betting platform, it's worth noting that it does lack in the area of form and analytics, which might put some punters off a little.
BetProfessor has a decent array of products and features with which to attract the online bettor. Let’s take a look:
BetProfessor excels in providing a variety of betting options with the focus on keeping it simple. This works great… to a point; it does leave things a little for those who are used to a more product / feature rich betting site. For example there is no live betting, no cash out and also the form and / or tipping is very limited compared to other platforms.
In the areas of banking options and customer service things are also super streamlined. Banking is limited to Visa / Mastercard and bank transfers and with customer service your main option is a live chat service that operates during AEST business hours and email support outside of those hours.
I don’t want to make too big a thing of the things that are lacking as the site is pretty solid all round and the two unique features of Blended betting and Even Shot are a lot of fun and a decent drawcard.
There’s a pretty comprehensive suite of betting markets at BetProfessor, certainly enough to satisfy most punters' wishes in my opinion.
Australian Racing: all 3 types of racing are all covered - Greyhound, Harness and of course Horse Racing. That means you’re able to bet on all the big Group One races right down to the much smaller midweek action.
International Racing: the BetProfessor coverage of international racing has increased over the last few months and it really does now give you the ability to bet all over the world. At time of writing there is betting available on racing in New Zealand, the US, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Chile, South Korea, France and more. That really is almost total coverage of global racing!
Sports Betting: away from racing BetProfessor covers all your favourite Australian sports as well as a very wide variety of other sports from around the globe. Be it English Premier League or NBA basketball that you’re, you won’t be disappointed. In fact all the major internationally popular sports have betting markets on the platform.
Betting Formats: it’s mainly about fixed odds betting at BetProfessor although with Australian racing (all 3 codes ) there are tote options. Either mid tote on the smaller races or Best of 3 totes on the larger metropolitan race meets / race days (Wed and Sat).
Exotics: as you’d expect all the typical exotice bet types are offered at BetProfessor - including Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, and First Four.

There’s a small $10 min deposit with BetProfessor and you can also choose to limit how much you deposit at any one time should you so wish.
Yes, it sure is. Any punter wishing to sign up at BetProfessor should be totally reassured by the fact that it is 100% compliant with all the necessary codes and regulations to operate as a bookmaker in Australia.
It’s super easy! Head to the website - betprofessor.com - or download the App from the Play or Apple stores and use the BetProfessor App. Follow the easy sign up process and you’ll be able to bet with BetProfessor in no time.
No. No betting sites in Australia are able to offer sweeteners to get you to sign up to their betting platforms due to regulations. However, when you do sign up you should definitely check the Promotions section of the site as BetProfessor does offer promotions and bonuses to loyal customers.
It sure does and I find it’s super easy to use. Head to the Play or App store to download it.
Promotions and bonuses in the Australian betting scene are heavily regulated and no betting site is able to offer inducements to try and encourage punters to sign up.
That said, if you’re already a registered client then things are a little more relaxed on the regulation front. There is a Promos section on the site and it is worth checking in there from time to time to see what might be on offer.
This is super easy and you like me will have no problems in doing so, whether it be on the website or the BetProfessor App.
Just hit the Sign Up button and complete the form and you’ll be signed up in no time, and then follow the instructions in the next section re how to deposit.
Just as easy as signing up really. Locate the green Deposit box top right of the screen, below the account balance, and follow the easy prompts. If you’re using the BetProfessor App, then it’s pretty much the same (see the screenshots below).
The deposit options are pretty basic, with only Visa and Mastercard as options but you’ll be able to deposit very quickly.
Do exactly what you do for depositing in terms of site navigation or you can also hit the My Account under Quick Links on the left hand side of the screen.
In the Withdraw section you’ll see just how much of your funds are available to withdraw and you can make a withdrawal by Bank Transfer, the only option available.
To be honest the site is pretty simple and straightforward and I haven’t had any real need to get in contact with customer support / service but if you do then you’ve got two options:
If you're the kind of person who is interested in getting more bang for your buck (who isn't?!), then you should be aware of the type of odds on offer with BetProfessor. I found that BetProfessor's racing odds are usually on par with some of the more established bookies in the Australian market.
I have also noticed they more often offer better odds for roughies in the market. So, if you like betting on roughies or like the look of a roughie in a particular race, it's a good idea to check out what BetProfessor is offering. This is an easy way to increase your payout potential.
In terms of sports in general, I found their odds to be generally comparable with other bookies. You never know where you'll be able to find some additional value though, so it is a good idea to always check around, including with BetProfessor before finalising any bets.
