why is it that Australians cannot register for accounts with your mob but Tasmanians can. Last time I looked Tasmania was still part of Australia. What is going on ?

Part business, part legal decision. We intend to do a considerable amount of live trading on a range of sports, unfortunately a certain governing party in this country think offering that online is a crime.

Wasn't aware Tasmania had been opened up to be honest, although it had been discussed.

I understand that 'In Running' interactive betting has been banned but why cant we bet pre round, pre match on-line etc as do most other Australian firms such as Centrebet, NSW TAB, TabCorp and co. Legislation by our stupid government hasnt stopped them. Why is stopping you from taking these sort of bets.

And how could the decision possibly be 'commercial' unless your bosses think Aussie money is too smart for them?

Dont think so

The Aussie market is tiny in comparison to the bigger picture, so not a concern.

Unlike the other companies you mention, we are betting solely online - there is no option of picking up the phone to place these bets, and our system is not capable restricting markets to certain clients. It's not a closed matter by any means, it's just the situation at the moment.
