Australian sports/racing bookmaker from the Behrmann Group, with plausible but unconfirmed NT Racing Commission licensing
Visit Bbet →Online casino is not lawful in Australia
We show no casino offer here on purpose. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, supplying online casino games to someone in Australia is prohibited - so a casino bonus aimed at you here comes from an operator working against that law, whatever licence it holds elsewhere.
Providing online casino games - pokies, roulette, blackjack, online poker - to someone in Australia is prohibited under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Licensed SPORTS BETTING is a different matter and remains lawful, which is why this market still shows bookmaker offers: almost every Australian online bookmaker is licensed by the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission, and the same Act separately bans online IN-PLAY betting. The two casino offers we previously published here were, by our own recorded conditions, offshore operators with no Australian licence.
Pros
- Founder with a real, longtime on-course bookmaking background (Luke Behrmann)
- Broad racing and sports coverage consistent with an established Australian bookmaker
Cons
- NT Racing Commission licensing could not be independently confirmed against the regulator's own operator list
- Ownership widely reported but not verified against a primary ASIC registry lookup
- No independent review-platform coverage (Trustpilot, ProductReview.com.au) found - limited outside scrutiny either way
- No sign-up bonus - a legal restriction across the whole regulated Australian market
Our verdict
Bbet is widely and consistently reported as operated by The Behrmann Group Pty Ltd, founded by longtime on-course bookmaker Luke Behrmann and launched online in 2019 - a reasonably credible claim corroborated across several independent Australian review sites, though we could not verify it against a primary ASIC company lookup in this pass. Licensing is most commonly attributed to the Northern Territory Racing Commission, the standard regulator for this market, but we could not independently match Bbet's name to the regulator's own published operator list, so we report this as the plausible rather than confirmed answer. Bbet appears to be a straightforward sports and racing bookmaker, covering thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing alongside more than 40 sports, without an apparent casino product. We found no independent complaint data on Trustpilot or ProductReview.com.au - a genuine gap rather than a clean bill of health, since it may simply reflect the brand's lower visibility rather than confirmed good service. As with every licensed Australian bookmaker, there is no sign-up bonus advertised - state law prohibits offering inducements to open an account. Given the founder's genuine on-course bookmaking background and generally plausible industry positioning, Bbet reads as a reasonably standard Australian operator, though we'd recommend confirming its current NT licensing status directly before signing up.
How we rated it
Sportsbook (36%)6.5
Reported racing (thoroughbred, harness, greyhound) plus 40+ sports (AFL, NRL, rugby, basketball) coverage, appearing to be a sports/racing-only bookmaker with a founder background as an on-course bookmaker.
Support & reliability (18%)6
No dedicated Trustpilot page or ProductReview.com.au complaint data found specific to Bbet - a genuine gap reported as such, since it may reflect lower brand visibility rather than a confirmed clean record.
Bonuses & value (18%)5
No advertised sign-up bonus - Australian state laws prohibit licensed bookmakers from offering or advertising inducements to open an account, so this reflects a legal restriction rather than a brand shortfall.
Trust & licensing (27%)5
Widely and consistently attributed to The Behrmann Group Pty Ltd, though not confirmed against a primary ASIC lookup. Northern Territory Racing Commission licensing is the plausible, industry-standard answer, but Bbet's name could not be independently matched to the regulator's own published operator list in this pass.

How we verified this
Ownership (Behrmann Group Pty Ltd, Luke Behrmann) is corroborated across multiple independent review sites but not against a primary ASIC registry lookup, and is flagged with that caveat. NT Racing Commission licensing is reported as the plausible, industry-standard answer but explicitly not confirmed against the regulator's own published operator list, which could not be matched to Bbet in this pass. The absence of complaint data is reported as a data gap, not a positive signal.

About Bbet
Bbet is an Australian sports and racing bookmaker widely and consistently attributed to The Behrmann Group Pty Ltd, founded by longtime on-course bookmaker Luke Behrmann and launched online in 2019 - a claim corroborated across multiple independent review sites, though not confirmed against a primary ASIC company registry lookup in this pass. Licensing is most commonly reported as coming from the Northern Territory Racing Commission, the standard regulator for Australian online bookmakers, but we could not independently match Bbet's name to the regulator's own published list of licensed wagering operators, so this remains the plausible rather than confirmed answer. Reported markets include racing (thoroughbred, harness, greyhound) and more than 40 sports including AFL, NRL, rugby, and basketball, with no casino product identified - Bbet appears to be a sports/racing-only bookmaker. No dedicated Trustpilot page or ProductReview.com.au complaint data specific to Bbet was found, a genuine gap we report rather than treat as reassuring, since it may simply reflect lower brand visibility. As with all licensed Australian bookmakers, no sign-up bonus is advertised, since Australian state laws prohibit offering or promoting inducements to open a betting account.
