Sportsbet Hack Day 2025 – That’s a Wrap! What a day! 22 teams, 40 ideas, and incredible energy across Melbourne, Sydney, and Darwin. From AI-powered betting recommendations to UX enhancements and real-time dashboards, our people showed what’s possible in just one day. In the lead-up, we hosted AI Info Sessions where our amazing AI SMEs made the wonders of AI accessible to everyone - beginners and pros alike - in fun, interactive ways. Our AI Coaches also ran Ask Me Anything sessions, tackling everything from security concerns to creative image and video generation. Their expertise made learning AI exciting and approachable! Why do tech hack days matter? - Innovation at speed: Rapid prototyping turns bold ideas into tangible value, fast. - Team bonds that last: Engineers, data, product, and design solving real problems side-by-side builds trust and momentum. - Learning culture: Experimentation, feedback, and iteration sharpen our craft and raise the bar for the next release. Huge thanks to everyone who hacked, coached, tested, and cheered! The energy was next-level. We’re already excited for 2026 and beyond: scaling the best concepts into our roadmap, fueling our AI initiatives, and continuing to grow a tech culture where curiosity and collaboration thrive. #HackDay #TechCulture #AI #Innovation #Teamwork #Engineering #ProductDesign #DataScience #UX #Sportsbet

Last week, the Sportsbet team came together to celebrate Diwali in true festive spirit! We embraced the festivities with colour, energy, and togetherness across our Melbourne, Darwin, and Sydney offices!    With vibrant Diwali decorations, shimmering lights, and traditional motifs, our offices transformed into a festival of colour and joy. We kicked things off with a vibrant Bhangra dance performance, filling the room with music, rhythm, and infectious energy, while setting the tone for an afternoon of fun and connection. Of course, no Diwali celebration is complete without food, and ours was no exception! The team enjoyed a spread of authentic Indian dishes, from aromatic curries and snacks to classic sweets, offering a true taste of India’s rich culinary heritage. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, and brought their enthusiasm to the celebration. #DiwaliCelebration #LifeAtSportsbet #EmployeeExperience #InclusiveCulture

The last two weeks have been full of trackside action, with the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival a sell-out success! More than 50,000 punters attended across three massive days and a Cup Day crowd that broke post-COVID records. We couldn’t be prouder of our partnership with the Melbourne Racing Club. "Partnering with the Melbourne Racing Club has truly been a game-changer. In just two years, we’ve injected fresh energy into racing and created experiences that are drawing in entirely new audiences," says Nathan Arundell, Chief Commercial Officer. Our Kick for Cash activation brought the heat with 2,003 fans taking a shot and 27 winners sharing $100K. The excitement was backed by legends John Aloisi, Alexander Volkanovski, and Daniel Gorringe. Caulfield Social Day also marked the launch of our Women in Racing initiative, spotlighting female leaders like Lizzie Jelfs, Rebecca Maddern, and Michelle Payne. It was more than a race day, it was a celebration of connection, confidence, and community. Here’s to making more racing moments more exciting, inclusive, and unforgettable. #InclusiveSport #NextGenRacing #SportInnovation #FanExperience #SportsbetCaulfieldCup

Last Friday, our Talent Acquisition team had the privilege of attending the 2025 Women in Sport Brunch hosted by Women Sport Australia; a powerful morning of connection, advocacy, and action at Melbourne Park. The theme, “Advocacy to Action: Policy. Investment. Power,” couldn’t be more timely. As global investment in women’s sport surges, Australia continues to lead the charge and Sportsbet is proud to be part of that momentum. From Olympians to CEOs, cricketers to changemakers, the panel reminded us of the incredible value women bring to every team, on the field and in the workplace. We left inspired, energised, and more committed than ever to building inclusive spaces where women thrive. At Sportsbet, we believe diverse teams win. We’re championing women not just in sport, but across every corner of our business. #WomenInSport #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #SportsbetCareers #EmployerBrand #DiversityAndInclusion #AdvocacyToAction #WomenInBusiness #TAteam #SportsbetLife

We’re proud to see our Head of Public Policy & Reputation, David Jancik, featured in WORK180’s article “Dads in the Lead: Why more men than ever are challenging parental leave stigma.” David’s experience is a powerful example of how walking the talk on parental leave builds trust, loyalty and deeper employee engagement. “Sportsbet fully supported me in my parental leave journey. As a business with a leading parental leave policy, all employees are encouraged to use the policy. Sportsbet even took it one step further – hiring me at the time, knowing that we were expecting our first child, and then still providing parental leave – this is because there is no minimum period of service hurdle for accessing Sportsbet’s parental leave policy.” We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels supported to thrive, at work and at home.

Last week, we celebrated Wear it Purple Day at Sportsbet! Our Sportsbet Pride Collective also shared their recent AWEI Bronze certification news with celebrations across our Melbourne, Darwin and Sydney offices! The afternoon was filled with storytelling, awareness and fun, featuring a live panel with Pride Collective members, followed by a few high-spirited rounds of Drag Trivia to test our knowledge and spark laughter. Tasty snacks, refreshing drinks, and a sea of purple made the celebration unforgettable, but it’s the stories shared and the ongoing support that truly matter. #WearItPurple #PrideCollective #AWEI #InclusionMatters #SportsbetLife #DiversityAndInclusion #DEIB
