i see

its wrong Trot .. banned for complaining about the provider breaking a (betting) law

surely RNSW must use their legal team to address this not just for Bricky but for the provider intimidating anyone who might also lodge an objection to seek an independent ruling

RacingNSW has just confirmed to me, that the will not be abiding by their own legislation, regarding rule 5.7(c)(4) which states.

The  Approval  Holder  must  not  do  any  act  or  refuse  to  do  any  act  to  avoid  complying with  clause  5.7(a)  including  but  not  limited to:

(4) Placing  any  restrictions  on  a  backer’s  account.

absolute joke and it clearly mount to what is effectively a restraint of trade,as long as you're not rorting or breaking any rules of racing they don't have any right to refuse your tote bet. You should look into that further and I would take it immediately to a media organisation especially around this time of year as they would love a story like that and the powers that be won't like being exposed as hypocrites

I feel as though I had a big win today against TABCORP and Luxbet. The letters I received today will be invaluable evidence in my crusade for fairness in the Australian Betting landscape. I have been waiting for these letter since last Monday.

The ban by TABCORP today makes no difference to the way I bet. I have not had a Paramutuel bet for over ten yesrs, and probably will never have another Paramutuel bet in my life. I never had any intention of using that NSW TAB account again for betting Fixed Odds, because it would only allow me access to Fixed Odds on New South Wales races. You would be surprised at the number of people willing to sell you their ID's.

No matter what tactic TABCORP uses against me, I will keep taking their money.

I won't pretend to understand all this, but seeing that the is mainly for Internet Betting.

Phone betting is still allowed.

Tabcorp is probably entitled to make such a restriction, as there are KYC provisions.

Also if you use other peoples' IDs both you and and them are in breach of the regulations.

Tabcorp would surely be entitled to restrict any new customer making significant successful Fixed Odds bets.

This is the rule TABCORP is now using to lock punters out of internet access

If Tabcorp has formed the reasonable belief that a transaction (including an electronic transaction) on your TAB account has occurred by way of an automated, and/or computerised, system (except for an approved automated, and/or computerised, system), Tabcorp may, at its sole discretion do any or all of the following:

a. restrict the operation of your TAB account, including restrictions on your ability to use one or more specific Channels;

b. suspend or close your TAB account;

c. decide to cancel any such bet and refund the bet to your TAB account; and/or

d. if appropriate, disclose details of the transaction, the TAB account and the TAB account holder to regulators or government agencies, including law enforcement agencies.

If you transact (or attempt to transact) on your TAB account via a Channel which you are not permitted to use, Tabcorp may, at its sole discretion, decide to cancel any such bet and refund the bet to your TAB account, suspend and/or close your TAB account.

got me stuffed too Fiz

i would understand fixed odds barring ... but parimutuel ... doesn't make any sense at all

and i also wonder if their Shareholders are aware that potential profit via turnover is being rejected on a supposed whim (or petulance at being exposed as the filth they are by Brikky)
