What are the Betfair commission rates for each state?

Betfair's standard commission rate is 6%, which applies to most sports and markets worldwide. Australia is the exception, where rates vary depending on the sport and the state the event is held in.

Thoroughbred horse racing

• NSW and ACT: 10%
• All other states and territories: 8%

Note that the relevant state is where the race is being run, not where you are located.

NRL

NRL carries a 10% commission rate. Because of this, dutching NRL bets across bookmakers is often a better option than laying on Betfair.

Trots and greyhounds

Rates vary. For the full current breakdown across all codes, check this page on the Betfair website. You can also find the commission rate for any specific market by clicking the Rules button within that market.

Commission rates can change from time to time, so the Betfair page above is always the most reliable source.
