Sports Betting at The Pokies

At The Pokies, sports betting runs alongside our casino games, giving you one place to play slots, table games and wager on live sport. We offer markets across major Australian and international competitions, with odds updated in real time and bets settled quickly after results are confirmed. Whether you follow AFL, NRL, cricket or horse racing, you’ll find events covered as they happen.

What Sports Can You Bet On?

Our sportsbook covers the main codes Australians watch and wager on. You can place bets on AFL matches throughout the season, NRL fixtures from round one to the Grand Final, and international cricket including the Big Bash League and Test series. Tennis, soccer, basketball and US sports like NFL and NBA also appear regularly, along with thoroughbred and harness racing from tracks across Australia. Events are added as schedules are released, so new markets appear each week during competition seasons.

How Do Bets Work Here?

You set your stake, pick your market and confirm your bet directly on the site. Odds are shown in decimal format, standard for Australian players, and your potential return updates instantly as you adjust your stake. Single bets, multi-bets and same-game multis are all available where the sport allows them. Once an event starts, in-play betting opens with dynamic pricing that shifts as the action unfolds. All bets are recorded in your account history, and settled winnings appear in your balance as soon as official results are published.

Payment Methods for Sports Betting

Deposits and withdrawals for sports betting use the same trusted methods as our casino games. You can fund your account instantly using Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or PayID, and any winnings go back to the method you used to deposit. Withdrawal requests are processed within 24 hours once identity checks are complete, and funds typically reach your account within one to three business days depending on your bank.

All transactions are secured with bank-grade encryption, and we never share your payment details outside our licensed operation.

Responsible Betting Tools

We provide tools to help you stay in control while betting on sport. You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings, and take a break with a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day cool-off period if you need time away. Self-exclusion is also available for longer breaks, managed through your profile under responsible gaming. Our support team can walk you through any of these options if you’d like help applying them.

Live Streaming and In-Play Features

Where licensing permits, select events include live video streams so you can watch and bet at the same time. In-play betting updates every few seconds during fast-moving sports like tennis or basketball, letting you react to momentum shifts as they happen. Cash Out is offered on many markets too, giving you the option to take an early return before the final result is known. Useful when the game turns against your original position.

Getting Started With Sports at The Pokies

Open an account with your name, email and mobile number, then verify your identity with a government-issued ID. Once approved, head to the Sports section from the main menu, browse upcoming events or search by sport, and place your first bet with a minimum stake of just $1. New players receive the same welcome bonus terms as casino users, applied automatically on their first deposit. Check the Promotions page for full details on wagering requirements and eligible markets.

Can I use my casino bonus on sports bets?

Most welcome bonuses apply only to casino games, not sports. Always check the promotion’s terms to see which products qualify before you opt in.

Are there fees for deposits or withdrawals?

No. We don’t charge any transaction fees on deposits or withdrawals, though your bank or card provider might apply their own charges.

What happens if a match is postponed or cancelled?

Bets on events postponed beyond 48 hours or officially cancelled are voided, and stakes are returned to your account in full.

How do I contact support about a bet?

Reach our team via live chat between 8am and midnight AEST, or email [email protected] anytime. Have your account number and bet ID ready so we can look up your query faster.
