Rivalry Australia bookmaker - login & bonuses

Launched in 2017, “Rivalry” is a brand of Rivalry Ltd, a company based in the Isle of Man. This is a private company founded by Kevin Wimer, who is also an esports advocate. The bookmaker quickly obtained several licenses around the world and started operating in Canada and Australia in 2022. Currently, it has three different licenses:

• Isle of Man
• iGaming Ontario
• Northern Territory Racing Commission (as Rivalry Australia Pty Ltd)

While it is quite new in Australia, we can say that it has a good reputation and market share that will increase in the coming years. For the same reason, we are putting Rivalry on our new bookmaker 2023 list.

Rivalry bookmaker is a sponsor of Blacklist Rivalry (an esports team), but it does not have any awards at the moment. Its overall margin rate is not disclosed, but based on our educated guess, it seems to be around 4,5%, which is slightly below the industry average. The website can be viewed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. The following countries are prohibited, any other country is welcome: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Live Betting

Live betting is offered for both sports and esports. By clicking the "live" link on the main page, you can see the list of ongoing events and the ones that will start shortly. The design lists the five most popular betting options with odds for each game/tournament, but you can see all the options by clicking on an event. There is no live-streaming option for sports betting. For esports, you can watch Twitch streams for some events, but this is not a service offered by Rivalry.

Rivalry Australia Registration and Verification

There is a button that says “signup” on the home page: click that to open the membership form. You just need to enter an email and pick a password. Note that you can complete the registration using your Google, Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Twitter, and Vkontakte accounts too. You will get an email message instantly, and after clicking the link in that message, your account will be activated: you can now complete Rivalry login.

Identity verification is required to make withdrawals and increase the maximum deposit limit. This can be done from your profile page. Once you click the “verify” link, a page will open asking you to take a selfie. (If you don’t have a cam on your PC, you can also use a smartphone.) In this selfie, you need to hold a document that verifies your identity (passport, driver’s license, etc.). Customer support checks the selfie and verifies your account in 2-3 days.

Rivalry Australia Website, Payments, and Support

The design of the desktop version of the website is quite simple and you can see at first glance that it is designed for mobile devices. Page elements are minimal and there is nothing to confuse you. However, veteran bettors may find this level of simplicity insufficient because you have to click too many times to see detailed information. Still, the loading speed of the pages is very fast and there is nothing that could cause navigation problems. The only problem is that the amount of information you can see at a glance is very limited.

Support is available via live chat and email. You can also send a good old letter to Rivalry Australia Pty Ltd, Level 4/66 Smith Street, Australia, Darwin, NT 0800. Before reaching support, make sure to check the FAQ page; it is quite detailed and contains answers to the most common questions.

For payments, you can use different currencies but the website assigns you one based on your geographic location, you cannot select one or change it. For Australia, AUD is the default (and only) currency. Available payment methods and their limits are shown below.

DEPOSIT & WITHDRAWAL METHODS

(*) The maximum limit for enhanced users is 10,000 AUD.

The processing time for withdrawals is 24 hours, but based on the payment method you choose, the whole process can take up to 48 hours. Or, in some cases (i.e., international bank transfers) this period can be as long as 7 days. In any case, all payments (deposits and withdrawals) are free of charge.

Rivalry mobile website and app

Like many other modern bookmakers, this one does not offer a native app for iOS and Android. There is also no PWA (progressive web app) feature. However, Rivalry mobile website runs on all kinds of browsers without a problem, and you can place a bet or play a game without any download. Just visit the website using your mobile device: regardless of its model or operating system, everything will work smoothly. The mobile website design is much more practical than the desktop version.

Rivalry on Android

You can use the website and all other online services (betting, games, bonuses, payments, etc) on Android devices using the default or third-party browsers. There is no APK file or app on the Play Store, but as we mentioned above, they are not required.

Rivalry on iOS

The website works on iPhones and iPads too. Due to its responsive design, it fits any screen size, and the Rivalry mobile gambling experience is quite satisfying: everything is optimized for touch controls and works instantly. We used iOS 16 devices for testing but we don’t expect the experience to be different with iOS 15 or below.
