Makes me think that the federal government is highly unlikely to climb into the tangled web of wagering regulation.

BHLL, the current Gov't are absolutely useless. Great at consulting & doing reviews but dont have the balls to actually do anything. They will be remembered for their handouts only.
Peter G did put his foot down yesterday on the Qld dam but only as a favour for Anna to get her out of a pickle. |

VK she was going to get clobbed at next election in a heap of seats if that dam was going ahead. She would have done the polling North of Brissy.
She is still in trouble but now she can blame Fed Gov't for all her woes. I am absolutely certain a deal was done. v sneaky politics |

it's a ridiculous situation in QLD, it's Labour by default because the opposition couldn't run a chook raffle, have moronic leaders and constantly shoot themselves in the foot......a sad case of better the devil you know

My main fear is that the IGA/in-play laws will get caught up in the anti pokie sentiments next year after the PC hands in their final report.
Being an election year i can see them getting spooked about making any forms of gambling easier particularly when you have the likes of Tim Costello coming out with gems like 'you can lose your house while your sitting in it'. |

CentreBet was the first bookmaker ever licensed in Australia. In 1992, it came out of sleepy Alice Springs, and went on to become the first online bookmaker in the Sothern Hemisphere. In 2003 CentreBet was acquired by SportOdds. They merged some companies together and born anew CentreBet returned with deeper pockets. In 2011 the company was bought by Sportingbet and in 2013 the whole lot was sold to William Hill. This confusing corporate history doesn’t do CentreBet justice. It has passed through the hands of esteemed bookmakers and learnt a little from all of them.
In 2012 the website was entirely rethought. It is now a lot easy on the eyes, and they must be happy with it, because it hasn’t changed since. The interface uses a fairly standard three column layout. Sports are on the left, in a navigation menu. Markets and odds are in the middle, and the bet slips are in the right column. It is a simple interface that ensures nothing is lost in translation. “In our most recent bookmaker margin survey, CentreBet had an average bookmaker margin of 5.1%, which is slightly higher than the survey median of 4.9%. From a punter’s perspective, the lower the margin, the better.”– Aussportsbetting. There is a slightly higher margin than the industry average. This margin does not account for the lowering margins as the event/game draws near. With larger bookmakers as well, you pay for the reputation and peace of mind with a slightly higher margin. There are a very wide range of markets. It has plenty of betting markets in all codes of sport. Australian sport is very well catered for, so is soccer, American football, and all the fixtures punters want. CentreBet has more than enough markets to be used as a standalone platform. |
