Best esports betting sites in Australia 2026

Australia has a top-tier CS2 stop of its own: IEM Melbourne filled Rod Laver Arena in April 2025 with a US$1,000,000 prize pool. Below are the 9 esports bookmakers we list for players in Australia, compared on Australian dollars, local payment methods, licence and the titles they cover.

All of them hold offshore licences, not an Australian one. The legal route at home is a pre-match bet with an Australian-licensed operator; the details are further down.

Short answer

Where can I bet on esports from Australia, and what should I check?

Australian-licensed wagering operators take esports bets online before the match starts. The offshore bookmakers below accept players from Australia too: 8 of 9 list a Curacao licence and none an Australian one. If you look at them, check that the site takes Australian dollars (7 of 9 do), how you will withdraw, and whether it prices the titles you follow.

Neosurf deposits 5 of 9 deposit only
Crypto deposits 9 of 9 banned at licensed operators

Esports betting from Australia: what matters

  1. 0 of 9

    bookmakers on this list hold an Australian licence, so no Australian regulator can help you in a dispute with them.

  2. 7 of 9

    list Australian dollars. Nomini and Rolletto do not, which means a conversion on every deposit and withdrawal.

  3. 9 of 9

    list crypto deposits and all list cards. Both are banned for online wagering at Australian-licensed operators since 11 June 2024, a quick sign of which kind of site you are on.

  4. 5 of 9

    take Neosurf vouchers. They only pay in: the one local withdrawal method we see is BPay at 1xBet.

  5. AEST

    European CS2 and LoL evenings land in the early morning on the east coast, while LCK matches in Seoul play in your evening.

Offshore bookmakers Live

Esports betting sites that accept players from Australia

Offshore sites with no Australian licence. Using one is not an offence for you under the Interactive Gambling Act, but ACMA blocks such sites and no Australian regulator can help in a dispute.

Patterns and exceptions

What the Australia list shows

Payments

Easy to pay in, fewer ways out

What it means: vouchers and BPay get money in, but most withdrawals go back by card, bank transfer or crypto. Check the cashier before you deposit.

Exception: 1xBet is the only one that lists BPay for withdrawals.
Titles

Coverage ranges from none to eleven titles

What it means: the median bookmaker here covers 7 titles. If you follow more than CS2 and Dota 2, the spread matters more than the welcome offer.

Exception: 1RED has no esports titles confirmed with us yet.
Licence

Offshore licences only

What it means: the protections of the Interactive Gambling Act and BetStop do not reach these sites.

Exception: 1xBet lists Panama, Mexico, Belarus and Vanuatu rather than Curacao.

Computed from the live Australia listing, 8 Oct 2026, n = 9.

Payments

Paying in and cashing out from Australia

What the methods on this list mean for speed, fees and currency.

Cards

All 9 list Visa or Mastercard deposits. Australian-licensed operators may not take credit cards for online wagering since 11 June 2024.

So what: a site that takes your credit card is not an Australian-licensed one.

Neosurf

Listed by Casino Infinity, 1RED, 1xBet, Nomini and Rolletto.

So what: a prepaid voucher keeps the bookmaker off your bank statement but works for deposits only.

BPay

Listed for deposits by 20bet, 1xBet and Nomini and for withdrawals by 1xBet.

So what: a familiar bank route, but expect a business day or more.

Crypto

9 of 9 list crypto deposits and 8 list crypto withdrawals.

So what: fast, but you carry the exchange-rate risk, and crypto is banned at licensed Australian operators.

Payment methods as each bookmaker lists them, 8 Oct 2026. Card and crypto ban: ACMA.

Method

How we pick bookmakers for Australia

The same approach applies in every market. These are the checks that matter most for players in Australia.

What a bookmaker needs to make this list

  1. Accepts players from Australia

    A bookmaker is listed for Australia only if it accepts players from Australia. The order adapts to what is available there, so it can differ from our worldwide ranking.

  2. Licence as listed

    Each licence appears exactly as the bookmaker lists it. We only call a bookmaker licensed in Australia when it lists a licence from Australia.

  3. Local currency and payments

    AUD accounts and local methods such as Neosurf, Apple Pay and BPay count, for withdrawals as well as deposits.

  4. Esports coverage

    Which esports titles each bookmaker lists, from CS2, Dota 2, LoL and Valorant to the titles followed in Australia.

  5. Current offer

    Each card shows the current welcome offer for Australia. A short-term promotion does not move a bookmaker up the list.

Scores and updates

Our editors score each bookmaker on betting markets and odds coverage, usability, payments, licensing, country access and user feedback, and revisit a score when something material changes, such as a licence or a payment method. The full process is on our How we rank page.

How we are paid

Some bookmakers pay us when a reader signs up through our links. That never decides the order.

The law

What the Interactive Gambling Act says

Wagering

Pre-match sports bets are allowed

Licensed operators may take sports bets online as long as the bet is placed before the event starts.

Glossary

Terms you will meet

In-play
A bet placed after the match has started. So what: Australian-licensed operators generally cannot take in-play bets online.
BetStop
The national self-exclusion register for licensed online and phone wagering. So what: it does not cover offshore sites.
Neosurf
A prepaid voucher bought in shops or online. So what: deposit only; plan another way to withdraw.

Esports betting in Australia: FAQ

Which esports betting sites take Australian dollars?

Of the 9 bookmakers we list for Australia, 7 list AUD: Casino Infinity, 1RED, Betwinner, Casinia, 20bet, 1xBet and Excitewin.

Can I deposit with Neosurf or BPay?

Neosurf: Casino Infinity, 1RED, 1xBet, Nomini and Rolletto. BPay: 20bet, 1xBet and Nomini for deposits, and only 1xBet for withdrawals.

Which esports have the most markets?

CS2, Valorant and Dota 2 are each covered by 6 of the 9. Casino Infinity covers the most titles, 11.

When are the big matches in Australian time?

European events usually run in the European afternoon and evening, which is late night to early morning on the east coast. Korean LoL (LCK) plays in your evening.

Is esports betting legal in Australia?

Yes, pre-match and with an Australian-licensed wagering operator. Offering online gambling without an Australian licence is an offence for the operator, not the player, and none of the bookmakers listed here holds an Australian licence. Check your local rules before you bet.
