What is BINGE?
BINGE is an Australian streaming service offering over 10,000 hours of the best drama, reality, lifestyle and movies by the world’s best producers, directors and studios.
There’s no doubt our love affair with streaming has blossomed over the last few years, with more Australians choosing unlimited data plans than ever before.
While competition for our attention grows, BINGE holds its own in the battle of the streaming apps – mostly because of its exceptional content but also because of its reasonable price point.
BINGE is a goldmine for fans of HBO classics – think Game of Thrones, The Sopranos and The Wire– and it boasts an ever-expanding library of premium movies.
Topping it off is a solid offering of reality, comedy, documentaries, crime and loads more, all wrapped up in a slick easy-to-use interface.
Here are the top 10 reasons to get on board with BINGE

3. Keep up with new content
From fantasy dramas to thrillers that keep you guessing, BINGE keeps your finger on the pulse of streaming entertainment. Never feel left out of those ‘have you seen?” conversations.
Mr Inbetween
Ray Shoesmith is a father, ex-husband, boyfriend and best friend. Tough roles to juggle in the modern age. Even harder when you’re a criminal for hire.

Ryan Murphy returns with a spin-off from his award-winning show American Horror Story. This anthology series will feature a different horror story each episode, delving into myths, legends and lore.
Reservation Dogs
From Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo, this brand new comedy series follows four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the mysterious, faraway land of California.
4. Easy navigation and pop out player
Expectations are high when it comes to user experience, and BINGE does not disappoint. The interface is clean and enticing - making it easy to browse different genres and search by mood, theme or actor. It helps that shows are listed along with their IMDb rating.
Don’t miss the pop out player on desktop that lets you watch movies in a small window while you (pretend to) work or study.
The BINGE Help Centre is comprehensive and searchable, and you can find clear answers to almost any question.
5. Find new gems in curated carousels
A quick scroll through the home page provides a tonne of viewing inspiration - from latest arrivals to cleverly themed groupings and staff picks. Here are some of the categories you can expect to see:
- All Time Comedy Greats
- Icon Film Franchises
- Sitcom Classics
- True Crime & Investigations
- Aussie Originals
- World's Best Docos
6. Try fun ways to ‘kill the scroll’
There’s nothing worse than wasting precious time in dead-end scrolling. Horizontal tiles blur, tensions flare and analysis paralysis sets in. BINGE understands your pain and offers practical (and inventive) solutions:
BingeLists
Build a playlist of content to watch later on – it’s like money in the bank. When you don’t feel like scrolling, open your BingeList and hit play.
BINGE Centre
Choose a theme, show, franchise, or actor or director and binge your way through hours of entertainment.
