TempleBet Review

Overview

BetCloud platform with flashy animations/fast UI; elite sports odds; early app launch; simple user-friendly experience for sports bettors; deep markets on key AU codes

TempleBet was established in 2024 (launched October 4, 2024) and is operated by David McLauchlan (ABN 72 035 461 089). The operator holds a licence from Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) bookmaking registration; Class I member Victorian Bookmakers’ Association (VBA); Club Bookmakers’ Licence by Racing Victoria Limited (RVL).

We tested TempleBet by creating an account, depositing funds, placing bets across their available markets, and requesting a withdrawal. This review reflects what we found during that process.

Customer Support

Pros & Cons

Verdict

TempleBet scores 4.8/5.0 in our testing. Mixed: Praised for sports odds, app, support; criticized for poor racing odds, limited sports variety/payments, no streaming/tips; 3.4/5 App Store; low overall ratings in some reviews (e.g. 2.3/5)

For punters who prioritise racing markets and competitive odds, TempleBet is worth considering. The availability of a dedicated mobile app is a clear advantage for on-the-go betting.

We noted the following concerns during testing: ACMA breach (2024): Allowed self-excluded (BetStop) user to open account/place bet; remedial audit ordered (2026, no penalty); withdrawal delays (up to 2 days); laggy live betting per users.
