Bottom Line
Picklebet clearly has a focus on esports but their sports betting service is also excellent. The odds are competitive and the range of markets per fixture is strong for an Australian-owned bookmaker. Some of the other feature highlights are the $0.20 minimum stake, the fast & modern interface and the fact that they verify your identity automatically during the sign up process. The primary features currently lacking are race betting, exotic multis and same-game multis. Apart from sports betting enthusiasts, it goes without saying that Picklebet would also be an excellent choice for those who enjoy esports betting.
