Who we are
The team behind Compare The Bookie worked for a professional betting syndicate and for a bookmaker, then founded and ran Punt Hub.
We have worked together for the last 12 years, combining over 100 years of experience in the racing and wagering industry — here in Australia and overseas in Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore.
Between the four of us we have covered every corner of the business: customer service to coding, advertising to administration, promotions and VIP concierge.
We tell it like it is. We know the business of the punter and the bookie.
The experience we stand behind
- Over 5 years working for global wagering syndicates.
- Over 9 years maintaining and managing Australia's most engaged and active punting community — as publishers and marketing consultants.
- Over 10 years betting professionally on course in Adelaide and Melbourne.
- Over 15 years managing high-net-worth punters and racehorse owners.
- Over 25 years buying and selling thoroughbreds internationally across New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
- Over 30 years coding and building wagering websites, wagering software, betting automation and apps.
