On-line sports betting operators who do not hold a licence in Australia “could be banned from offering their services to Australians, if recommendations from major local players are implemented,” reported The Australian Financial Review.
A number of submissions to the Federal Government’s review of the Interactive Gaming Act request the 2001 legislation be amended to limit the provision of wagering services to Australians from Australian-licensed operators only.
“This would mean UK & European operators like Ladbrokes, Betfair, expekt.com, William Hill & Paddy Power – all popular with Australian punters – would not be allowed to offer their services here. Popular Asian providers, such as the Hong Kong Jockey Club & the Singapore Jockey Club, would also be banned.”
Australian-based & licensed operators including TAB, Centrebet & SportOdds argue prohibiting offshore sports betting operators would better protect Australians from unregulated sites & protect an important source of taxation revenue for the Australian government |
