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.
