Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There are a number of hurdles a person or corporation has to jump to be licensed as a bookmaker in Queensland. Sadly one of them is not to have to prove the provenance of your funds. Roll up with a clean criminal record, the requisite dough and 6 months worth of bank statements and you […]
WinnersBet and its related brands are the gift that keeps on giving. It’s come to our attention that their NFL markets are an absolute rip-off, here’s an example from last week that someone sent in: As a punter for a two-way split, your hairs should rightfully be standing up on your neck looking at those […]
It appears that a few start-up businesses are in the legal crosshairs of various racing bodies for skirting the rules on fees and data. Word in the industry is the jolly green giant, TAB, identified the parties involved by manipulating race details and then identifying where in the betting ecosystem this spoofed informational turned up. […]
We’ve mentioned before the troubling trend of many micro-bookmakers, who seem to be arbitraging the regulations and taxation situation. Another story, we talked about operators giving people the run-around for deposits. It appears that whilst Victoria might give a bookmakers licence to my cat if I could get it a suitable ID card, NSW on […]
In the last few years, a couple of new white label bookmaking platforms have appeared in Australia. BetCloud and PuntersTech are two, but another couple are on the blocks. You won’t be seeing them offering their wares overseas though – they’re domestic only today. So why do these shops exist? 90%+ of the market is […]
Archie Look at these peanuts at Goldbet will you. When you get smashed they’re happy, but when you win a few grand over 2 days they limit your account. Read below – they were monitoring my bets and each bet on their app would take 3 minutes to place. They have restricted me, no boosts, […]
Following on from the previous post, where we looked at the much maligned in reviews bookmaker Zbet, which rarely finds a friendly audience in any forum where the public are invited to provide their reviews. Browsing the tides of Whirlpool, this particular thread sits near the top of the sports betting forum: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9pxj208z Let’s take […]
The ever excellent Peter Davis of the Greyhound Recorder is, in my opinion, the most incisive and insightful racing journalist in Australia, and also the best. Davis zones in on and dissects difficult subjects where most of the mainstream media fear to tread. He has done it again in his brilliant The Sunday Afternoon ‘Finish […]
So after 2 months of its website being ‘Under Maintenance” – including Cup week – the dodgy corporate Bet Deck that we have been telling you about for ages tells its account holders that they’ve sold to an unnamed buyer and it’s all sweet, and the equally rubbery NT Racing Commission says that they agree. […]
We hate to say we told you so …. but we told you so. You always hear it here first. Punters are waiting for answers after they were allegedly unable to make withdrawals by bookmaker Bet Deck, only for the site to go “under maintenance” during the middle of the Melbourne Cup carnival. Some punters […]
