The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s no.1 betting event.
The once-a-year punters flock to this horse race, held at Melbourne’s Flemington race course, on the first Tuesday of November.
But it is no longer just a race that stops a Nation, it’s also a race that has the best stayers from all over the world travel to Melbourne for it. This means the profile of the Melbourne Cup has risen to the point where racing enthusiasts all over the world tune in, watch and bet on the 10 race card.
Bookmakers like Bet365 and William Hill, which are both licensed to operate in Australia and the UK, also have markets available to punters in other countries on the Melbourne Cup.

New Zealand online bookies for the Melbourne Cup
Most Kiwis will use an Australian-licensed bookie to wager on the Melbourne Cup, but they are under no obligation to wager with one based in Australia.
NZ laws mean you can truly shop around and find the best odds. Having said that, chances are, when you take the shed full of promos available into consideration, you will choose an Aussie one, or wager on the NZ TAB, although several recent studies suggest you are far better off betting with a corporate bookie.
