Topsport vs Winnersbet – Old vs New Aussie Betting Sites – Which is Best?

There’s a lot of bookmakers out there these days, and at times a lot of them can seem extremely similar. But while they often do have many common points, the combination of things that make up a betting site are rarely the same, and when compared side by the side the difference between one site and another is usually pretty clear. That’s why we’ve done just that for two popular Australian betting sites in WinnersBet and TopSport, ranking them on a number of key categories before ultimately declaring a winner.

Don’t have time to read about each metric in detail? Check out our summary of results below!

WinnersBet: Signing up with WinnersBet could hardly be much easier. All that you need to do is head to the website, click on the Join button in the top right-hand corner of your screen, and enter some personal information (such as name, address and email address) and account information (such as username and password). From there, hit submit and you’re away. The whole process can be undertaken in about a minute or two

TopSport: The sign-up process with TopSport isn’t too different as the process with WinnersBet. Again, you just head to the website and click on the Join button in the top right-hand corner of the page. From there, enter in the relevant details and you’re ready to go. Again, this shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Verdict

There’s not much separating these two bookmakers with regards to the sign-up process. They both make it about as easy as possible to join and the process doesn’t take very long at all for either, so we’ll have to settle this one as a tie.

Round 1 Tie: Topsport/WinnersBet

WinnersBet: One area in which WinnersBet is clearly inferior to many of their competitors is in their range of different sports markets. There isn’t a whole lot on offer, and among those leagues which are offered there could certainly be a lot more markets. This is to be expected for a bookmaker in its infancy and may improve as time goes on, but for now they fall a little behind the pack in this regard.

TopSport: There’s generally a correlation between the experience of a betting site and the range of markets they offer, with older bookies typically leading the way in this regard. TopSport isn’t much different; one of the longest standing Australian bookmakers, they cover a wide range of different sports, although they could stand to have a few more markets on the events that they do cover.

Verdict

Neither of these sites is industry leading in terms of the sports coverage they offer. But while TopSport could benefit from expanding their range of markets for things like player props, in terms of the number of different sports that they cover, they deserve the win over WinnersBet for this comparison topic.

 Round 3 Winner: Topsport

WinnersBet: WinnersBet hasn’t yet joined the growing number of betting sites who offer live betting. This means that if you’re the type of punters who enjoys having the ability to watch the beginning of an event unfold before placing a bet, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

TopSport: TopSport offers a decent selection of markets on which you can place live bets. This is something in their favour as not every bookmaker offers it, though they could improve this service by offering live odds on a wider range of things.

Verdict

This one is a pretty easy selection. TopSport don’t offer the widest range of live betting markets in the industry, but at least they offer some. The same can’t be said for WinnersBet, so not much consideration is needed to give this category to TopSport.

 Round 5 Winner: Topsport

WinnersBet: WinnersBet unfortunately don’t yet offer a mobile betting app for customers. You can, however, access a mobile version of the website, and like the website itself this is extremely functional. Unfortunately, however, in a category about mobile apps, they get a cross. Perhaps there’s one in the wings and they’ll have a mobile app soon, but for the time being they can’t get a pass mark here.

TopSport: TopSport has a pretty good app which is available for both iOS and Android devices. It pretty much follows on from the design of the website, and while it is not among the best apps in the country, it certainly performs the function for which it is intended.

Verdict

Both of these sites offer functional mobile experiences, with each of them working pretty effectively. WinnersBet, however, doesn’t actually offer an app, instead relying on the mobile version of their website, so TopSport once again wins this category.

 Round 7 Winner: Topsport

WinnersBet: The WinnersBet customer support platform is, for the most part, one of the more well-conceived parts of the website. They offer live chat, email and FAQs, with the former the easiest way to get in touch and customer service representatives generally helpful when they do. A phone number would be an added bonus, but with live chat available most queries should be able to be resolved pretty quickly.

TopSport: TopSport has a decent customer support platform, with a couple of options to get in touch with them and helpful agents. The major drawback of this part of the site, however, is the fact that they don’t offer live chat, which is typically one of, if not the, easiest ways to get into contact with a bookmaker and have a query resolved.

Verdict

Each of these companies offer decent customer service options, with both of them missing one common form of contact; a phone number for WinnersBet, and a live chat function for TopSport. Live chat, however, is in our view the easiest and most efficient way to get a problem resolved, so the presence of that platform with WinnersBet means they get the win here.

 Round 9 Winner: WinnersBet
