Daniel Gorringe and Sportsbet: What Is the Connection?

Who is Daniel Gorringe?

Daniel Gorringe is a former AFL ruckman who played for the Gold Coast Suns and Carlton. Sporting News reported that he played 26 senior AFL games: 22 for Gold Coast and four for Carlton.

After his playing career, Gorringe became known for sports media, commentary and social-media content. His work includes the podcast Dan Does Footy. Australian advertising publication B&T has also covered his creator work and listed Sportsbet among his brand partnerships.

What is Gorringe’s connection to Sportsbet?

Sportsbet’s own website documents a relationship centred on The Feed, its betting-content feature. A Sportsbet profile describes Gorringe as a collaborator, and a separate page attributes AFL tipping content to him. A later Feed profile roundup describes him as a regular contributor.

Those descriptions establish more than an informal reference to the bookmaker: Sportsbet has published content associated with Gorringe under its own brand. B&T separately listed Sportsbet among his brand partnerships, although it did not explain the agreement’s scope or terms.

The labels should not be read as a job description. A contributor can be associated with published content without necessarily being an employee, and a brand partnership can take different contractual forms. The sources reviewed do not establish his employment status, payment, exclusivity or contract duration.

Is the Sportsbet relationship current?

The most recent relevant Sportsbet material identified in the research was dated 27 October 2026 and described Gorringe as a regular Feed contributor. That is useful recent evidence of an association, but it is not a contract announcement.

A published profile or roundup may remain available after an arrangement changes, and the sources do not disclose an end date. The careful answer is that Sportsbet was still describing him as a contributor in October 2026; the precise status of any agreement after that date is not confirmed.

The same distinction applies in reverse: a page disappearing would not, by itself, establish that a partnership had ended. A newer first-hand statement from Gorringe or Sportsbet would be needed to clarify the position.

Sportsbet ads and content featuring Gorringe

The evidence covers different kinds of material: a reported advert, a Sportsbet profile and betting content published under Gorringe’s name. They show an association at several points in time, but do not establish that one continuous agreement covered every example.

• August 2020: Bets.com.au named Gorringe in its report on the Sportsbet parody advert 20 Days of Footy – We Will Get Through This.
• 2025: Sportsbet published a Gorringe profile describing a collaboration and a separate page attributing AFL-related tips to him.
• October 2026: B&T listed Sportsbet among his brand partnerships, and Sportsbet’s Feed roundup described him as a regular contributor.

The 2020 parody advert

For readers trying to identify a Daniel Gorringe Sportsbet ad, the clearest specific example in the research is the 2020 parody advert reported by Bets.com.au. Its article named him among the people appearing in 20 Days of Footy – We Will Get Through This.

That appearance is attributed to the publication’s report. The video embedded in the report was not independently inspected for the research, so the available evidence does not support a description of Gorringe’s dialogue or screen time. The report also does not establish his fee or whether the advert ran on television.

The Feed profile and AFL tips

Sportsbet’s profile and tips page provide direct evidence of how the bookmaker has presented Gorringe’s betting content. The profile describes a collaboration, while the tips page attributes AFL-related content to him within The Feed.

The tips page also references Dan Does Footy. That reference alone does not show that the podcast as a whole was sponsored by Sportsbet, or that every episode carried a promotion. A podcast-wide sponsorship claim would require a separate disclosure or other reliable evidence.

A Sportsbet-published tip is also distinct from independent evidence about betting performance. The pages establish that content was published, not that its selections produced particular results.

How to read promotional content in Australia

The distinction between editorial commentary and commercial promotion can matter to readers. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says Australian Consumer Law can apply to influencers, brands and marketers acting in trade or commerce. An omitted, vague or inconspicuous disclosure of a relevant commercial relationship can mislead consumers.

That is general guidance, not an allegation that Gorringe or Sportsbet breached the law. Whether a particular post or advert is misleading depends on its circumstances.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority also describes restrictions on gambling advertising during live sport on broadcast television and radio. Rules for online live streams differ, so broadcast restrictions should not automatically be applied to a podcast or social-media post. Advertising rules can change; readers seeking the current requirements should check ACMA’s guidance.

For gambling support, the National Gambling Helpline is available on 1800 858 858. It is free, confidential and available 24 hours a day. BetStop offers self-exclusion from Australian-licensed online and phone wagering services.

FAQ

Does Daniel Gorringe work with Sportsbet?

Yes. Sportsbet has described him as a collaborator and a Feed contributor, and it has published AFL tipping content attributed to him. Those descriptions document a working association, but do not establish that he is an employee or disclose his contract.

Has Daniel Gorringe appeared in a Sportsbet ad?

Bets.com.au named him in its August 2020 report on Sportsbet’s 20 Days of Footy – We Will Get Through This parody advert. The embedded video was not independently inspected for the research, so the appearance is attributed to that report.

Is his Sportsbet connection current?

Sportsbet described Gorringe as a regular Feed contributor in material dated 27 October 2026. That is recent published evidence of an association, but it does not confirm whether a particular agreement remains in force on a later date.

What is The Feed?

The Feed is a Sportsbet betting-content feature. Sportsbet has published a profile of Gorringe and attributed AFL tips to him in that context. The available evidence does not suggest that all Feed content is his.

Is Dan Does Footy sponsored by Sportsbet?

Sportsbet’s Gorringe tips page references Dan Does Footy, but that reference does not by itself establish a sponsorship of the whole podcast or its terms. A current first-hand disclosure would be needed to support a stronger claim.

Is Daniel Gorringe a Sportsbet employee?

His employment status is not established by the sources reviewed. Sportsbet’s descriptions of him as a collaborator and contributor show a content association, but do not determine whether he is an employee or works under another arrangement.
