When it comes to advertising the live odds during the sporting broadcasts, regulators in New South Wales, are looking for new ways of reining to reproduce the online sports and betting and have consequently banned the activity. This means that there will be no broadcasting of the play odds like the ones that keep shifting on the scoreboard or even the ones that assist one to guess the next goal. The ban means television will have to be adjusted or dropped altogether. Troy Grant is the NSW minister for gaming and racing and made the announcement stating that the live odds were increasing the risk of dangerous gambling which is what encouraged the customers to continue chasing losses on make impulse bets. It is undeniable how the online betting market has become more competitive and people aggressively chasing shares through promotions and this is why regulation in the industry is prudent. Estimates from the monitoring firm Ebiquity on the amount being gambled online between 2010 and 2013 was close to $48m.

Samantha Thomas is an associate professor in public health from Deakin University said the ban was positive however there are still gambling advertisements being made, company logos on jerseys and stadium sponsorship which is stunting the change. Financial counseling in Australia has reported in August that there is use of aggressive marketing tactics which includes offering credit to players already in debt and others inducement through tickets to sporting events. In a case study, there was a detailed report of how a man was offered $500 in free bets and ended up gambling the proceeds from the sale of his home. In another, there was an attempted suicide of a man owing to his gambling debts. NSW is intent on taking down these tactics in the wake of December using the current ban to expand and entice bets using “credit”, vouchers or rewards to cover all “inducements”. The state waits on the results of a federal review done into online betting which is being run by Barry O’Farrell, the former NSW premier, due on 18^th December in order to go forth with the curbing of online sports betting.

The Australian Independent Gambling Authority (IGA) is determined to incorporate new rule in their new proposed set. The rules will see the banning of granting spontaneous credit to clients by online betting operators based in South Australia.

If the rules are activated, betting operators will have a hard time in having to undertake thorough checks on the credits they offer to their clients. This will be followed by a faster mode of withdrawal process with the discloser of spotter fees being incorporated too.

In any way the operators go against the new law, a fine of A$100,000 will be waiting at their door steps. This goes to the 19 licensed betting firms which offer the service and have over 74,000 registered accounts.

The Minister for Business Services and Consumers Gail Gago claimed that the new proposed rule came to being in August after a report by Financial Counseling was adamant to have an in-depth analysis on how betting sites have been offering credits to their clients.

She claimed that more often than not, these betting sites have been offering their clients with huge sums of money without considering the status of a client if he or she can be in a position of repaying it. It was also evident that there were special clients who acted as agents in luring other customers into various betting offerings with credit among them.

Ms. Gago hopes that the law would be enforced ASAP in attempt to rescue exclusive gamblers. At the same time, the IGA has accorded the betting operators to respond to the law in 28 days after which the lawmakers will enforce it and by 2016, it would be fully functioning.

TheDirector of the IGARobert Chappell commented that they are considering the report and that the seductive aspect of these online betting firms have portrayed a great threat to bettors who give in to their demands without having a second thought. He continued to claim that there is a high possibility of incorporating the proposed law as it forms the basic value and awards a bettor a freedom of choice. This would also change the behavioral pattern of these betting sites.

However, Sardo claimed that this movement was not for the eradication of betting in the state but would aim at making sure that responsible and honest betting is conducted across all betting platforms.

Opposition gambling spokesman Russell North claimed that this move has been attributing to the cutting of funds meant to accord assistance to addicted bettors and this is a negative aspect that inflicts more risks to bettors.
