Applied for ESTA and was denied. Subsequently, secured a visa and travelled to US. Can I try ESTA again? [duplicate]

I was rejected for a visitor visa for the USA when I was an Indian citizen. Now I am an Australian Citizen. I applied for ESTA, which got denied, maybe due to my previous rejection. Since then I have travelled to the USA 4 times with valid visa. My visa will expire in 2020. Should I renew my Visa again, or should I try applying for ESTA? My visa has been renewed 2 times already.

Eligibility for an ESTA doesn’t require a clear admission record. Now you of course have to honestly answer the question about whether you’ve ever had a visa denied. But given that you’ve had successive B visas, perhaps your ESTA application will be successful.
