"your 100% wrong there kt22 - the reason the government hasn't proceeded with the recommendations, it planned to, is that Abbott said he'd vote against them
if you want in-play we need a Labor majority " Like never have GST or Carbon tax type situation??Believe the rhetoric if it appeases you but the power happens behind the scenes.Having a majority just makes it less transparent. |

true Rhino - could probably do it that way but something would most likely need to pass the parliament
it would be a bloody big backflip for Abbott to back in-play betting kt22, you're right it could happen but it would be easier if Labor wins and just puts it in |

My thinking was the same as wombleoz, ie a trial would need some sort of parliament vote, but I'm no lawyer so not sure.
Assuming there was a "trial" The call for a trial assumes that things could only get better, what if there is a trial and the trial finding/recommendation is that the ban on internet in-play should stay but also there should be a cap on how much internet punters can lose from their account each day ( a submission from Senator Xenophon). I would love internet in play on sports but accept there is no wide community or political support for such a move. Reluctantly I am willing to accept the status quo, rather than having the do gooders making further regressive changes to protect me. |

you could be right Hal, maybe we should be fighting to hold ground rather than make it at the moment

Articles like the one below about concerns for the increase problem gambling caused by access to on line gambling are a concern.
The article also refers to Tonight's Four Corners will investigate how children are being exposed to gambling through the integration of betting into TV sports coverage. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-20/study-finds-explosion-in-sports-gambling/4699680 |

scary that 3 of the top downloaded apps are pokie simulations
ban ads, ban spot betting - go too far and lose all control though |

So with Abbott certain to get in, there goes all hope for in-play.

I had already given up hope. Would love to know how much cash they blew on the review. All for nothing.

Worse still Jimmy, i believe he has plans to amend the Interactive Gambling Act to ban all credit betting.
I have been betting on credit with some bookmakers for over 10 years, but due to the need to protect problem gamblers from themselves, I and others are to be inconvenienced. |

Eliminating credit betting is an absolute must, purely self serving to assert otherwise
|
|
By:
think it might be online credit betting ie using a credit card and not some private arrangement between a bookie and a punter

Jimmy it doesn't matter who gets into power, hell will freeze over before in-play happens in Oz. More likely to go the other way and introduce a complete ban on online gambling, ala the US

... it seems the biggest worry for govts ... re on-line gambling .. is that the money goes off-shore to international companies ... i doubt the genuiness of the moral or safety issue from either major party ... (tho a few independents seem to have this as their cause and reason for living) |

no chance on "in play betting" for at least 3-5 years, and Abbot want's to ban payment by credit cards and credit given by bookies to clients......................this by the way has been a major push by the TAB** for years because in will put a major hole in the handle by the corp bookie's.
