question What makes a bookie worth sticking with now?

Been doing a bit of a cleanup on the betting apps I use and figured I'd ask in here how everyone rates them these days. Not talking about the flashy signup stuff so much, more the day to day things once you've actually had an account for a while.

For me it's usually the basics first - how quick deposits and cashouts are, whether the app falls over during a big game, if the odds are decent enough compared to the rest, and how painful the verification stuff is when they decide to ask for docs. Live betting speed matters too, especially if you're having a crack during NRL or AFL and the market is moving every two seconds.

Keen to hear which ones people reckon are genuinely solid and which ones start getting annoying after a few weeks. Even little things matter, like same game multi options, whether support is any good, limits getting chopped, or promos being more hassle than they're worth. Chuck in your experiences, good or bad.

First thing I do with a new app is a tiny deposit and then a tiny withdrawal before I trust it with anything proper. Saves a lot of stuffing around later if they suddenly want docs or make you chase support just to get your own money back.

yeah but I reckon the first cashout test only tells you so much. Plenty of them behave fine until you've had a few decent collects, then out come the limit cuts and the random account checks. That's the bit that annoys me way more than a clunky app.
