Centrebet originated from
Alice Springs,
Northern Territory and was the first bookmaker to be licensed in Australia in 1993 and the first bookmaker to go online in the
Southern Hemisphere. Centrebet was acquired by its biggest domestic rival, the SportOdds Group, in 2003 for the sum of $47 million. In 2005, SportOdds merged its Centrebet, SportOdds.com and SuperOdds.co.uk businesses into one entity, known as Centrebet. In 2006, the company was listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange. In May 2011, Centrebet entered a
scheme of arrangement with
Sportingbet and was delisted on 1 September 2011. In 2017, the Centrebet brand was revived by
William Hill Australia. In 2018, Centrebet was included in the merger of William Hill Australia with
CrownBet to form
BetEasy. ==References==
