With the cost of streaming services in Australia steadily rising, scoring a discount on a subscription is becoming rare. However, Australia's own Binge has just turned five, and to celebrate, it's offering a juicy discount on its Basic tier.

From today (June 24) to June 30, Binge has slashed the price of its Basic subscription in half to just AU$5 p/m for five months — that's AU$25 total. This subscription usually retails at AU$50 over that time, so new and returning customers will save a massive 50% off.

With some upcoming new originals, select on-demand sporting events, lifestyle content, and more available within, Binge's birthday offer is not one to miss. You'll need to act fast to nab this discounted offer, as this deal will end on June 30, 2025.

Typically costing AU$10p/m for a Basic subscription, this Binge deal will save you AU$25 over the first five months. For a nice AU$5 per month, you can access all of Binge's content catalogue and stream in HD on one screen. Note that this is an ad-supported tier, meaning you'll experience around 5 minutes of advertisements for every hour of viewing.

Despite losing the HBO catalogue in recent months with the launch of Max, Binge is still thriving on its own. A slate of new originals is heading to the platform, including the comedic documentary "SOLD! Who Broke the Australian Dream?" coming on July 21, which explores Australia's housing crisis.

Notably, the recent mini-series "Mix Tape" has received rave reviews after its debut last month. The show stars Teresa Palmer and Jim Sturgess as Alison and Daniel, as the series moves between their teenage romance in Sheffield, England, in 1989, and modern-day reality as they reconnect through a song from their shared past.

Binge is also home to "Colin from Accounts", "The Last Anniversary", which is based on a Liane Moriarty novel of the same name, and new seasons of "Selling Houses Australia", "Mr Inbetween", "Real Housewives of Sydney", "The Twelve", and "Love It Or List It Australia".

Binge likewise features some popular international series, including "Day of the Jackal", "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", and complete boxsets of fan favourites like "The Office" and "The Walking Dead".

As for sports fans, select NRL and AFL games will be streamed live and available on-demand with no ad-breaks during play, thanks to an integration with sister site, Kayo Sports. And considering both Kayo tiers just experienced a price increase, with Binge, you can watch fan favourite games for as little as AU$5p/m until November. That means you'll be able to stream the NRL Grand Final on October 5 and the AFL Grand Final on September 27 for less. You beauty!

But what does a Binge Basic subscription actually include? Here's what this discounted rate will get you:

  • Streaming to a single device at a time in HD resolution
  • An impressive content library of 1,993 titles, made up of 937 movies and 1,056 television shows
  • And a no lock-in contract that you can cancel at anytime

What you miss out on — compared to higher tiers — is the comfort of ad-free viewing and the ability to stream select titles in 4K resolution (a feature that's only available on Standard and Premium plans). If you're okay with watching up to 5 minutes of ads per hour, then this is a good way to access all of Binge’s exclusive shows, movies, and sports.

And if you find that the streamer isn't up your alley, you can always cancel your Binge subscription at any time.
