During my time at Sportsbet there has been growth on so many levels. Personal skill growth, technical solution growth and data volume massive growth. Every day is a new beginning and the projects and possibilities endless. I have loved every moment.
Luke Lynch

Sportsbet’s focus on employee wellbeing has been unbelievable. It feels like every second week we have hampers delivered to our house or we’re given a budget to buy lunch/snacks/drinks for the afternoon. The perks we receive is unlike anything I’ve experienced at any other company.

Mark Jennings
Head of Platform - Risk & Trading
Sportsbet delivers on our strong commitment to personal development and growth and I’ve had the opportunity to invest in my capabilities and grow as a leader during my time at Sportsbet.
I’ve been supported through a combination of great mentors, training, stretch opportunities and, most importantly, the necessary time and headspace.
Andy Camera
Head of Platforms - CXES
I came through the doors at Sportsbet almost 9 years ago now as a young and fairly inexperienced iOS app developer, eager to do well but terrified of the major league I was now playing in - with some of the smartest, most talented and greatest people I’ve ever met!
I’m a lot less young now, but through that community of big brains and all the support/guidance/camaraderie/ trust I’ve enjoyed all these years Sportsbet has enabled me to grow my career from a junior dev into that of a people leader in a cutting-edge Technology team, while making many lifelong friends along the way – there’s very few places who talk about having a culture like that and can actually back it up like Sportsbet does!
What It’s Like Being inside a Company That Runs on Innovation
Sportsbet runs on innovation. Our company values empower us to innovate because unlike almost everywhere else I’ve worked, these values aren’t just touted by the HR department and plastered on the walls in common areas. They’re part of the Sportsbet vernacular.
Inspiring Leaders Create Inspired Careers
Sometimes leaders think they’re doing their job well by delegating tasks and making sure they’re done in time, but that’s not all there is to leadership.
