Again, its a minefield out there, and no doubt as the industry grows, there will be some sharks out to make an easy dollar from you.

Any reputable site worth their salt will offer an online help email address, or customer service number. Don't be afraid to call and hear about the way they operate their site directly to give yourself a bit of confidence.

We can guarantee that all of the sites advertised on this website are legitimate business that have the appropriate licencing so you can trust them with your bets.

Before you can start placing your bets, you'll need to register/open an account. This shouldn't be too hard to find on any of the sites we advertise, but basically you're looking for a link to 'Register' or 'Open an Account'.

You'll need to provide certain details that you can substantiate with certain forms of identification (i.e drivers licience, amenities bill, bank statement) and eventually you'll generally need to provide proof of these documents to the bookmaker (due to government terms that any user must be over the age of 18 in Australia).

You will create a username and password, then fund the account with a credit card (usually - though most sites offer a variety of valid forms of payment) and you're under way!

Before you deposit your initial amount, check to see what promotions/offers the bookmaker is offering you. Most bookmakers will offer an incentive to join their site (as you can see from the links to the left of this page!) but its recommended that you fully read up on those terms to ensure you're getting what you paid for.

Usually if you start with a credit card, you can start betting immediately, though if you choose to pay by cheque or bank deposit, you will have to wait for this to be cleared before making your first bets.

Take the time to figure out how the bookmaking website works, and use the customer service numbers or online help (if applicable) to ask questions if you're unsure.

Most sites have a good FAQ section to help you and are generally user friendly also.

Now just wait for the money to roll in!!

Once you've made your first million, you may wish to deposit back to your own account.

Most bookmaking sites generally make this as easy as depositing money INTO the betting account, and most often the money will go back into the account it came from, but make sure you confirm with the bookmaker where you wish the money to be sent.
