It has been a time of unprecedented challenges for sporting and racing organisations, as well as bookies and punters – but the sports, racing and betting fraternity are moving tentatively out the other side as the COVID-19 crisis improves. Palmerbet is helping its customers make the most of the return to the status quo – and adding to its impressive suite of betting products – with the launch of the new Bookie Bag*.

The Bookie Bag is made up of three betting features designed to increase value and the betting experience for customers: Price Push, Race Rescue and Game Saver.

Price Push and Race Rescue are both available on all thoroughbred, greyhound and harness racing fixed odds events. Game Saver can be used on head-to-head bets in all NRL, AFL, NBA and NFL matches. The three Bookie Bag features are easy to use and will show on a Palmerbet customer’s betting slip for a valid race or match when they have a Price Push, Race Rescue or Game Saver available.

After choosing a runner in a fixed odds thoroughbred, greyhound or harness race and entering a stake, a customer can select the Price Push option to increase their odds.

When the Race Rescue feature is selected on a thoroughbred, greyhound or harness racing fixed odds bet, the customer’s stake is returned as a bet to use on another event if their runner places second or third.

Similarly, the Game Saver feature provides Palmerbet customers with a second chance when the NRL, AFL, NBA or NFL team they place a Match Result bet on gives up a late lead. If a customer’s chosen NRL team leads at the 60-minute mark but goes on to lose, or the AFL, NBA or NFL team they bet on is in front at three-quarter time but loses, their stake is returned as a bet to use on another event.

Palmerbet customers’ daily available Bookie Bag bets are displayed in their account notifications.
The Bookie Bag features – Price Push, Race Rescue and Game Saver – are set to prove a popular addition to Palmerbet’s range of products, rewarding customers with more bang for their bet and a characteristically user-friendly experience.
