About Palmerbet
Brothers Grant, Matt and Adrian Palmer followed in their grandfather's footsteps operating as rails bookmakers and featuring in interstate betting rings. Based at Canterbury Racecourse, the Palmer brothers started an Australian online bookmaker service in August 2013 which promises to do business with punters barred from other bookmakers for winning too often.
Palmerbet promise to act more like a traditional bookie who may go home some days in the red. 'We're confident we can manage the flow of money, use our insights into form and pricing and what the market is doing, and at the end of the year we'll have a profit,' suggests Grant Palmer. Palmerbet operates with the slogan 'Take Us On', designed to showcase their "pro punter" approach to bookmaking. Grant Palmer has stated that although he can't promise the company will take “every" wager, he maintains that they'll try to take as many bets as possible from punters who have been knocked back elsewhere.
Palmerbet uses an advanced online betting platform and hence offers a great user experience with a full range of products and promotions (See: Palmerbet's Promotions). Palmerbet also offers its loyal customers prizes and other incentives (although this applies to recreational punters only).
