Mad Bookie Review
Mad Bookie commenced business in 2014 with a license from the Norfolk Island Gaming Authority. In 2017, Mad Bookie was taken over by TopBetta. The acquisition was positive for Mad Bookie as it meant they were now licensed and regulated by the Northern Territory Government, and; the Norfolk Island Gaming Authority disbanded shortly after that. In 2018, PlayUp Limited bought both the TopBetta and Mad Bookie operations and, they remain their current owner. PlayUp is now the only brand in operation.
Mad Lays
Mad Bookie’s Mad Lays product was the real feature of their service. Every weekend, they effectively laid an outcome by posting high odds on a head to head outcome. Sadly, the product is no longer available as new bookmaker PlayUp has not reintroduced the promotion.
Best of the Best
Mad Bookie provided its customers the Best of the Best product. Thankfully, new brand PlayUp has retained this top racing product. It is less commonly available these days, for example, it is not available with Sportsbet.
