Review of Flemington sportsbook – online sport betting
Flemington has been accepting stakes on horse racing for 20 years already. They launched online sportsbook in 2009. Now the bookmaker is considered to be one of the largest bookmakers in Australia which stakes out the market of racebook.
This sportsbook is licensed in Australia and welcomes the bettors from the English speaking countries. It has a wide list of restricted areas. Nevertheless Flemington sportsbook is considered to be an international bookie.
Naturally the bookmaker is focused on sports which are in demand among local players. The number of sports is not big though they offer bets on American sports either. Flemington online provides active sponsorship campaign. They are associated with local Australian competitions, especially in horse racing.
Site
The website of Flemington online betting company is out-of-date. The bookmaker should think of improving their site. It is delicate and ascetic. The background is made with the picture of horseracing. The main colours are red, white and black. The quality of the pictures and colours is not very high and while first entering the website the reliability of sportsbook gives rise to doubt. The interface of the bookmaker can be considered to be one of the weakest points of the company.
The bookmaker provides only several gambling platforms: sportsbook, racebook and greyhounds. Games, casino and poker are not offered on the website. The website is constantly updating that`s why the customers always can see the current odds.
Navigation is very simple. Registration window with several main sections of the website can be found in the upper part of the screen. Sign in procedure is standard. New customer should pick the currency and enter his personal details. Don`t be afraid to state your correct data. The sportsbook pays much attention to the reliability and your information won`t be disclosed to a third party. Otherwise you won`t be able to withdraw money, because their verification is very scrupulous.
In the left upper part of the home page we can find the information about upcoming races and their odds. Next to it is window with starting time, track conditions, scratching, races feature, doubles feature and results.
Below there is window with all the sports available for bets at Flemington online bookmaker. The upcoming sports events and races are traditionally in the centre of the screen. All the general information about the sportsbook, licenses, agreements, sponsorship, rules, terms, betting peculiarities and so on is located in the bottom of the screen.

The odds are quite competitive. The bookmaker sets 1,91-1,93 odds on the equal events.
Mobile betting and promotions
Flemington online is not customized for mobile betting. In the same time the customers can look through the lines, odds, results and upcoming events from their mobile phones and tablets.
The sportsbook has no any promotions and bonuses. This company`s policy sets wondering. Promotions could help the bookmaker to attract new customers.
Reliability
Flemington sportsbook is considered to be reliable bookmaker, which is focused on the solely Australian market. The bookmaker accepts bets from bettors worldwide but according to some Flemington reviews, the bookie shows different attitude to bettors from other areas.
This sportsbook will fit fans of horse racing, greyhounds and Australian sports. European and American punters are unlikely to find attractive options and odds.
