PointsBet or Dabble?
Checked
PointsBet is the better choice for most punters: it ranks second in our Australian ranking (8.6) to Dabble's fifth (7.8), with a $1 million maximum win against Dabble's $100,000, support 24/7 and a smaller ACMA penalty. Dabble is the pick for same-game multi fans who bet small, with up to 25 legs to PointsBet's 20, stakes from 1 cent and the best-rated iPhone app in our ranking.
ACMA penalised PointsBet $500,800 in 2025 for 508 marketing messages to self-excluded people, finding no excluded customer could bet, and the NT fined it about $59,000 between 2023 and 2026. ACMA penalised Dabble $1,069,200 in 2026 for not closing 157 accounts of people registered with BetStop and for 839 messages to 165 self-excluded people.
