History

Mad Bookie is a relatively new betting site, having started up in 2015. The company is Australian owned with its license issued by the Norfolk Island Gaming Authority.  Its main office is located in Melbourne.

Brent Luntz started the company and built it up very quickly whilst marketing it as a site by punters, for punters, rather than a slick corporate operation. MadBookie prides itself on personal bookmaking and describes itself on their website by saying ‘We’re just a group of normal aussies blokes, just like you – you’ve probably seen us at the pub on Saturday arvo!’.

In 2017, Madbookie was bought by Playup. The company was folded and all Madbookie punters were migrated over to the Playup system, which is easily an upgrade.

MadBookie App

MadBookie’s App has a simple interface that features all the necessities for mobile punting.  The interface displays concise navigation menus that show upcoming races.
Besides the awesome Player Bets tool, the app does not possess other fancy tools such as Sportsbet’s app multi-builder or quickbet, however it is a intuitive design that allows you to get your bet on quickly.

One thing missing is the predicted Tote odds which some other betting apps display.
