Betting has been faced by serious problems especially to those operators who lack the operational licenses. More often than not, these operators are tempted to indulge in illegal betting which in many nations is going against the law. However, there still some operators who operate without license and prevail. They tend to evade the huge taxes that are levied by the sports betting regulatory bodies.

It was reported that more than $145 million has been operated and transacted through illegal betting. To curb the situation, various governments have incorporated state law enforcers who go door to door to seek those who violate the law. Nonetheless, to be on the safer side, it is always advisable to acquire an operational license and avoid being on the opposite side with regulators.

On that note, the Irish betting authority has claimed that it would offer a total of 27 operating licenses to those operators working in its new regulated sports betting market. The new licenses have been granted a gross period of two years. This will now give a chance to the iGaming as well as sports betting companies to accord Irish clients with their products and their services.

The Irish Tax and Customs office issued this new list at the beginning day of September. Among the 27 betting firms in the list included the leading betting operators in the nation; Paddy Power, Boylesports as well as Matchbook. Other betting operators who are based outside the country but were accorded with the license are bet365, William Hill, Gala Coral, Betfred, Betfair and the mighty Ladbrokes. All these firms are based in the UK. 188BET, bet-at-home, Full Tilt and PokerStars are the notable international betting operators included in the list.

The new rules that were initiated on the 1^st of August claim that online casinos, gaming and bingos in the nation will be levied a 1% tax yearly to their income. Online Sports Betting on the other hand will be accorded with a 15% revenue cut. This is much less than what the UKGC of UK levies to its bookmakers.

This fresh innovation is deemed to be fundamental in the initiation of the Irish Gambling Control Bill come the year 2016 and will be the beginning of a specific betting operator.

Operators have been urged to seek the licensing problems with Gibraltar and Malta who are the best licenses regulatory. This comes after a smooth process of license issuing was evident when the Maltese legislature issued a sport betting license to bet365.

License Details

The issued license is referred to as the Class 2 Remote Gaming License and was granted to bet365- Hillside (New Media Malta) Limited. This would enable the bet365 Malta chapter be able to render its duties of providing sports gambling, poker games as well as casino in Malta. The new upcoming online powerhouse will provide a room for the agitated development strategy by bet365.

A spokesman from bet365 claimed that in attempt to improve in its development scheme, bet365 has decided to incorporate a second license this time from Malta licensing board having already acquired the Gibraltar license previously. This comes as the betting company focuses on the being on the safer side having already acquired and upheld specific regulatory approvals and also giving a hand in the emerging worldwide issues for a peaceful gaming environment.

New Chapter

In collaboration with the Maltese license, bet365 has initiated its products and services in one of the Maltese betting firm; Sliema. This move will play a role in the expansion of the management of the markets as well as procurement duties for bet365. This Maltese chapter will be commanded by Fred Bjurjfall.

According to Joseph Cuschieri the Executive Chairman of the Malta Gaming Authority, the incorporation of bet365 provides a key aspect to the existing evolution in betting industry with key aspects being intelligibility, reliability as well as protecting consumer interests. This comes after raids were conducted by Maltese enforcements in matters pertaining betting indignity.

Broader Reach for bet365

Many players have found the bet365 products very appealing to them. Mostly, the in-play has attracted many clients for its versatility and dependency. The new license will be integral as bet365 stands a better chance of diversifying in order to acquire the attention of many clients.

Having Europeans top regulatory bodies at its side, bet365 will see its products and services being rendered to many across Europe. It follows that bet365 is now focused and eyeing the United States as a potential market for its products.

South Australian senator has been on the front line in fighting the illegal online sports betting as many shares his view and claim that credit by sports betting firms to clients should be abolished, there should be incorporation of tighter laws and existence of a national self-exclusion register.
Senator Nick claimed that many clients have been targeted as preys to these betting firms that give betting credit which is used as a hook to uninformed clients. The released Monday report referred to as the “Duds, Mugs and the A-List” claimed that for the better betting in Australia, credit extension by online betting companies to bettors should be abolished.
According to the Financial Counselling Australian Policy manager Lauren Kevin, the sport betting firms should be prohibited from according clients with credits and later in six weeks time sue them at the courts. This will be accompanied by the inclusion of tighter betting rules that would oversee successful betting as well as the incorporation of a national exclusion register. The wagering companies should also restrain from sharing personal information for its clients from one company to another. This comes as a result of client being manipulated and enticed by another betting firm in resuming betting after he becomes a cold bettor.
The Australian Wagering Council (AWC) who corresponds to Unibet, William Hill Group, Sportsbet, Bet365 as well as Betfair claimed that it would support the national credit register but opposed the abolishment of the credit arguing that it is not evident clear if sports betting have been the main reason that people are becoming problematic to their lives due to betting.
These betting firms have the tendency of incorporating credits to their clients and have subsidiaries everywhere in Australia. For instance, William Hill has its subsidiaries such as Tom Waterhouse, Centrebet and Sportingbet. On the other hand, CrownBet comes from its former brand BetEasy which is under the managerial hierarchy of James Packer’s Crown Resorts. UK based Ladbrokes has several subsidiaries among them Ubet and TabCorp. All these firms have been chasing bettor’s dollar day in day out and when ones runs out of money, he is accorded with credit for redemption which in essence will only inflict more harm and stress on him.
However, states in Australia should take up the initiative of banning credit offers by these firms and follow the footsteps of Victoria State.

According to an Australian newspaper, “The Australian” Ladbrokes and bet35 feature that is called the ‘click call’ is under investigation. The investigation is being carried by the International Police commonly known as the Interpol. This features has seemingly draw controversies across the betting arena.

The case was referred to the International Police by the Australian Federal Police who had been given the directive to carry out the investigation on the bookmakers by the Australian Communication and Media Authority that is abbreviated as (ACMA). The Australian Federal Police have decided to refer the case to the Interpol as the websites in Australia were apparently all operated remotely by the bookmakers. The Police are now investigating another bookmaker William Hill whose website was operated locally unlike the other betting service providers.

The Authorities in Australia have investigations underway on claims that this bookmakers that are of British origin are acting in violation as they had breached the laws on the Gambling Act of 2001. This law prohibits the betting on five platform although it allows the betting on a by use of phone for betting. The feature was first launched by Ladbrokes Australia and William Hill in the month of April. Since its establishment it has brought controversy mirroring other live betting functions as it enables customers to be able to connect to team markets all through a microphone.

Other bookmakers in the UK have said that the mechanism they use is under the Gambling Act Provision of 2001, where the wagers by the customers are only processed if the customer approves of the selections they have made. ACMA responded to this by posting new guideline that the call feature did not involve other service providers that has customers using the normal telephone services which is a requirement according to the act.

In this month the ACMA proceeded to pass the investigation to the Federal Police with claims that it was a breach to the laws of the nation and they were the right force to handle this as the communication agency could not advise on the matter. With this the UK bookmaker will therefore be forced to drop the feature that it offers to its customers until the matter has been sorted out.
