Neds Sports Betting Review
There are a range of sports markets at Neds for both local Australian sports and international events. Certainly not as many markets as the more established bookmakers at this stage however.
On the main sports markets page you will find ‘Next to Go’ markets, as well as the big events such as the NBA Finals and NRL Grand Final. Or you can click a sports category to view the markets using the tabs below, which sit in the main sports betting page.
Live in-play wagering is available for a range of overseas sporting events including MLB, NFL and NBA.
The Ned app – Smartphone and Tablet
Neds offers a mobile betting app which is available on smartphone and tablet.
Once you have downloaded and installed the Neds app, sign up, log in and start betting!
If you don’t wish to download an app, you can view the site via mobile browser on the mobile responsive website. Neds has been built to work with all portable devices, including Apple, Android and Windows.
You can access your account to make deposits and withdrawals from the app on the go easily also.
We heard that the app was a little slow on release, so we’ll wait and see whether it is able to handle the traffic when the big events roll around.
The Ned app allows for betting on the go, easily.

Final thoughts on Neds…
Neds are the newest Aussie-owned bookmaker to take on an industry largely dominated by Irish and English owned wagering companies.
As is the trend these days, the Neds interface is heavily geared towards mobile betting, which could frustrate desktop users who can’t view all available odds on a single screen. This does annoy us a little, however the range of sports and racing betting markets is strong, particularly for a new betting service, and a highlight for us is a feature-packed racing interface (perfect for the Spring Carnival), and is up there with the best that we’ve reviewed. Those more into sports betting should give Neds.com.au a look while racing fans should 100% jump on board.
Overall, very impressed with such a new product.
