Australian province prohibiting free betting
June 9, 2009, 9:41 am (2 years ago)According to the Herald Sun newspaper this week, the Australian province of Victoria is going to soon stick together with New South Wales and South Australia prohibit the contribution of free bets to new players. Legislation now previous to the State Parliament is going to make it prohibited for bookmakers to provide incentives to new customers.
Free bets are offered by most corporate bookmakers, the newspaper claims, reporting that Luxbet, which is owned by Tabcorp, and Betfair have already withdrawn their free bet service. However, other major bookie firms like Centrebet, Sportingbet Australia and Sportsbet are still offering free bets.
Since the issuing of advertising limits at the end of last year, corporate bookmakers have filled the market with promotional offers, give rise to a client numbers significantly.
