Love a bet on the dogs? Well we have the perfect bookmaker for you. BetDogs.com.au is a new Australian bookmaker that specialises in greyhounds owned and operated by respected Sydney bookmakers Lloyd and Tristan Merlehan.
About BetDogs
BetDogs is a registered trading name of Merlehan Bookmaking Pty Ltd. The pair of Lloyd and Tristan Merlehan have been licensed and trusted bookmakers in NSW with experience in excess of 30 years and are well known as the men behind emerging sportsbook TopSport.
The latest in a long line of predominantly on-course bookmakers to venture into the online scene, as you will have guessed by the name, BetDogs deals exclusively in greyhound betting.
The great thing about BetDogs, however, is that if you already have a TopSport account, you can use that same account with BetDogs, sharing the same balance. The same works the other way if you sign up with BetDogs but find yourself wanting to bet on sports or racing later down the line.

BetDogs Betting Markets
Obviously BetDogs are targeting a fairly niche audience in the fact that they only offer betting on greyhounds. If you are looking for gallops, trots or sports betting, then BetDogs won’t be the bookmaker for you.
If you love a bet on the dishlickers though, then BetDogs is a great place to start. They have a great range of greyhounds betting markets including win/place, quinella, exacta, trifecta and first four bets.
They also offer some more exotic types of betting markets including favourite vs the field, odds vs evens and box challenges.
BetDogs Features
Betting Products
BetDogs has a solid range of betting products that allow the punter to extract extra value from their bets. They offer the ‘Best Tote + SP’ on select racing meets throughout Australia as well as best fluctuations, best of the best premium and the standard fixed odds. Punters can also place multi-bets, combining legs from different races to increase odds.
Rewards Program
BetDogs have a great rewards program where punters can accumulate points that can be redeemed for betting products. The great thing about the rewards program is that the user earns points when betting across BetDogs or TopSport.
Promotions
BetDogs have a great range of betting promotions that help the everyday punter extract extra value in their betting experience. Unfortunately, due to Australian legislation, we are unable to advertise the majority of these promotions, but if you wish to view them all you have to do is sign up for an account.
BetDogs Website
The BetDogs website is familiar to anyone that has come across an Australian sports betting website in their time. They utilise the three panel system which sees the menu on the left, the betting markets in the middle and the betslip on the right.
One aspect of the website that is lacking is the absence of a live chat feature. It's become the norm within the Australian online betting landscape, so we are sure that both TopSport and BetDogs will add this feature soon to enhance their customer support.
BetDogs Mobile App
Unfortunately, BetDogs does not currently offer a mobile app on iPhone or Android devices. We believe that the app will be coming soon, but in the meantime, they do offer a great browser version of their website that works essentially as good as a mobile app, especially if you add the shortcut to your homescreen.

BetDogs FAQ
Can you still get a sign up bonus at BetDogs?
Unfortunately, no. Due to Australian legislation, online bookmakers are no longer allowed to offer incentives to sign up. That means that sign up bonuses are a thing of the post. Instead, you'll be rewarded for loyalty with BetDogs.
Are there any BetDogs promo codes?
Due to the laws stated in the question above, betting agencies are no longer allowed to offer sign up promo codes for incentives. However, be sure to sign up to recieve promotional emails/texts from BetDogs and TopSport, as they are regularly running promotions for pre-exsisting customers.
How do I sign up to BetDogs?
Signing up for an account at BetDogs is a simple process. Simply click this link or any of the banners in this review to be redirected straight to the BetDogs sign up page, where you will need to enter a few simple details, that’s it!
What are the best promotions at BetDogs?
Sports betting sites in Australia are no longer allowed to advertise their promotions to non-registered users, so it's hard to be specific about what types of promotions BetDogs offer. However, you can be sure they have a revolving door of both daily and seasonal promotions on offer for customers, which can be found via the 'promotions' tab on their website after you've signed up.
How to get bonus bets at BetDogs?
