TopSport is a relatively new Australian-based bookmaker with a wide range of local and international sports and racing markets.
The site is run by the Merlehan brothers, Tristan and Lloyd, who have a long and respected history as bookmakers. Lloyd was the first on-track licensed bookie to offer a sports betting service back in 1990.
The TopSport site experience is probably one of the better ones available with a clean layout that is easy to navigate to find the market you want.
While signing up was relatively painless, we found the separation of fields to be unnecessary and annoying. Most punters expect the signup to be completed through a simple address lookup function.
TopSport offers a unique feature called ‘Player Bets’, where you can build quick multis with options to focus on specific players. It’s a handy function to save you from having to search through various player markets to build your desired player multi.
Apps for Android and iOS devices are available through Google Play and the App Store respectively, with both apps offering the same features of the full site.
TopSport offers all the typical markets punters have come to expect alongside a depth of other options. Looking at an upcoming AFL match for example, there are over 400 markets available from Alternate Lines, Results by Half, Disposals, and various Goal Scorer options.
Their racing selection is just as strong with options like Win/Place and Exotics, as well as Jockey and Box challenges.
Looking at some random markets, we checked to see what odds the Sydney Roosters were paying against the Manly Sea Eagles (17 September) and at the time of checking the odds were as follows:
TopSport: $4.15
Sportsbet: $4.05
PlayUp: $4.10
TAB: $4.00
Neds: $4.00
Ladbrokes: $4.00
TopSport offers the best value bet in this instance, which speaks to the value they are trying to offer their clients.
Due to strict regulations, bookmakers are no longer allowed to promote any special deposit bonuses or deposit matches as these are considered an ‘inducement’ to open an account. You must create an account and log in to see their latest offers.
We will note the promo page didn’t change after we signed up and logged in, suggesting they didn’t have any client promos available at the time.
TopSport has a wide variety of deposit options available including:
We know major factors in choosing a bookie is knowing how they treat punters and to what extent they provide customer service.
TopSport offers basic customer service to their account holders through a support email and helpline.
