Where are we licensed?
Mad Bookie is licensed in Norfolk Island (part of Australia) and we contribute to the sports and racing economy by paying all product fees and taxes.
Mad Bookie is licensed in Norfolk Island (part of Australia) and we contribute to the sports and racing economy by paying all product fees and taxes.
Mad Bookie are set to become the newest bookmaker in Australia with a launch of the unique brand planned for 2015.
The start-up venture is the brainchild of Melbourne-based entrepreneur Brett Luntz, who is targeting a gap in the marketplace in the online gambling sector in Australia.
Mad Bookie will not be taking on the big bookmakers in Australia, but will instead offer impressive offers and promotions to fit in with the "mad" tag.
Luntz told eGaming Review: "We think there is a certain part of the market that isn't being targeted or managed as well as it could be and we're looking to capitalise on that.
"We don't want to be a carbon copy of all other sites our there, but there are some really smart offers out there that punters have been receptive to."
Luntz's fellow investors include Think Bingo co-founder Dylan Schlosberg.
Mad Bookie, which is a Norfolk Island-licensed operator, will be launched over the coming days with all major racing products as well as a small number of sports markets.
Further sports markets are planned to be added to the product later in 2015.

15 Network
The 15 Network was only launched in early 2012 with the first brand being Quiz Show Bingo. This brand later re-branded at Lights Camera Bingo and the network was then born. All of the sites on the network are powered by the Jumpman Gaming software (previously Bingo Vision), a software that was created by a team with a proven track record in the online bingo market.
Dylan Schlosberg is involved in both the network and the creation of the software and it his knowledge and expertise in the field that ensured that the software provided an excellent gaming experience for the end user. Dylan was involved in the launch of Think Bingo back at the beginning of the century and is the founder of Herotech, a company that was sold to Cashcade for a substantial amount of cash.
Whilst the 15 Network is still fairly small when compared with the likes of networks like Dragonfish and Virtue Fusion, there have been quite a few brands choosing this product and by 2014 the brand had grown quite substantially with new sites launching monthly.
All of the sites currently only offer 75 and 90 ball bingo across a minimal number of rooms but we have no doubt that as the network grows, the game offerings will expand too. The brand also offers a selection of mini-games, slots and instant wins and many of these will be familiar to players with favourite such as Fluffy Favourites and other IGT offerings. In more recent times one or two sites have emerged to lead the network with standalone promotions and even the odd standalone bingo room too.

Australian venture accelerator Future Capital Development Fund has invested in Melbourne-based online service provider PaintMyPicture.com for an undisclosed sum, just months after investing in two other online start-ups.
PaintMyPicture.com is a unique service whereby customers supply a photo or picture, which an international network of artists uses to paint the photo by hand using oil on canvas.
In December last year, FCDF invested in a memorial site for people and pets, and an event registration and ticketing platform.
PaintMyPicture.com joins FCDF’s current stable of companies which include imorial.com, eventarc.com, CheapHotels.com.au, OurWishingWell.com, SMS Central, My Guest List and Domain Folio No. 1.
According to FCDF founder and internet pioneer Domenic Carosa, PaintMyPicture.com has all the ingredients he looks for in an investment.
[b]“Its CEO, Brett Luntz, is an internet entrepreneur who has had great success in founding and growing other hi-tech businesses,”[/b] Carosa says.
“Its systems are robust, which will enable the business to grow exponentially without increasing overheads and its internet-based marketing strategy means the concept can be taken international with the click of a button.”
FCDF invests in young, fast-growing internet, mobile and technology companies, investing anything from a few hundred thousand dollars to a million, usually taking a significant minority stake.
As well as providing capital, practical assistance is provided to assist the company’s rapid expansion. FCDF will not invest unless it can be actively involved in providing strategic input, relationships and practical operational support.
Carosa told StartupSmart last year he chooses to invest in businesses that have been operating for at least a year, with existing revenue and customers, because they’re a “less risky proposition” due to their proven track record.
“We look for businesses that are basically disruptive, so businesses that challenge an existing income or marketplace,” he said.
“I also like businesses in which a major component of their revenue is derived from transactions, not just advertising, because these businesses often have a much stronger business case than those that are purely advertised-focused.”
Carosa believes the current level of investment activity, and new sites launching daily, means strongly-backed ventures will ride the wave of the next internet boom.
“We are uncovering, almost daily, strongly performing internet companies with good cashflows that are highly scalable, where revenues can be doubled and tripled quickly with our involvement,” he says.
PaintMyPicture.com could not be reached for comment, but plans to launch in the United States, the United Kingdom and South Africa before the end of 2011.
Carosa says PaintMyPicture.com has a global market appeal, predicting the concept to be particularly popular in the US where family portraits are very much part of the culture.
“We’re definitely keen to talk to other start-ups out there… Even if the company is too early to accept investment, we’re happy to talk to entrepreneurs about their future or help them shape their idea – we put cash in but we also roll up our sleeves to help grow the business,” he says

in Victoria Brett Luntz has been Sales & Distribution for the Elixa Energy Drink
(in the Contacts section)
http://www.patmacmedia.com.au/clients/elixa/elixa.html
under the secret powers icon they reveal the hidden mystery of their energy drink
It was a dark and mystical time of turmoil in Africa when the kings of Eden in Ethiopia discovered that the elixir prepared by the great sangomas to protect them in war, had a far greater power.
The elixir was endowed with great power to revive the deep and powerful life force of all who drank it.
The sangomas realised that the Elixir channels the force of spiritual energies which reinvigorated the body, mind and soul.
With this great Elixir on their side the kings were undefeatable in battle. Returning home to the joyous, ululating women, the warriors held victory celebrations that lasted days without tiring.
The warriors fought and celebrated with a vigour lost until now...
But soon King Demissie became greedy, wanting more land and power.
Demissie tried to steal the secret formula to use against the other kings.
So the great sangomas had to hide the formula in the dark and secret places of the forgotten caves atop mount Kilinmani.
Fearing for their lives the great sangomas had to flee their homes and lived a migratory life in exile.
Only now, centuries later have a few brave men ventured into the realm of thušanyana and recovered the scrolls containing the secrets of Elixir.
Brewed with respect to the tradition of kings and tribal fusion, the essence of Elixa remains unchanged but the formula has been improved by the wisdom of science with minerals and herbs.
Elixa has been scientifically developed to boost body and mind.
Its advanced formula contains essential vitamins and minerals which enhances strength and improves muscular performance.
...... with so much bullshizer being dumped on the Oz forum recently ... please punters .. be very careful of the marketing in this our horseracing gambling endeavours

And before you start with any uppity questions, TB. 
I also have no idea which ones I've obviously spotted but they will definitely be in my top line and it will all be absolutely confirmed probably maybe
when the Swab results return from the lab in the future.
Thanks for the feedback ....when it comes

shameless promotion by some on other threads in their quest for the perfect marketing tool that extracts money from one persons pocket and into their own
(marketing & deception aren't necessarily 'hand in hand' siblings ... but they sure are 'kissing' cousins in a lot of cases)
shameless
but its the world we live in
now
... I can't stand the sound of a ululating woman ... but hey that's just me ... and not cause I'm not sympathetic ... but it just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up

Are you suggesting I am being paid by the Mongolian Tourism Authority for any new visits my posts generate?
your threads are a joy Joel .. nothing mercenary in them so therefore appreciated
the yanks call the others panhandlers
ie approaching strangers & begging for money from them
give anybody a loaf of bread if they're hungry
but those sales artists who are trading dreams and using misrepresentations to achieve that end
well ffs
Hope you're getting something out of them.
Lord knows there's no interest , no kickbacks from the Cup venues

I can remember a time when there was a racing thread every day with hundreds of posts. Now if there's not a Cup there is nothing. Betfair have told me privately that my posts generate more than 95% of the traffic to the site.
I remember those threads too.
The difference is, they contained people's opinions, selections on horse races.
Strange but true.

Your point is? People can still give selections in my threads, the difference is they can do it with a bit more knowledge about the local area.
Are you stoopid?
Obviously they've deserted the forum to go walkabout, haven't they?
You are responsible.
Own it

They were deserted a long time before I tried to resurrect them.

Now we have a go-getter who has more fingers in the business pie than eddie m and among his worldly acquisitions has seen the proliferation of companies attacking the gambling culture of Oz like a Locust strip-out.
Gathers a few other J.Belfort's and says guys why don't we open up a betting site with a twist,those Ozzies seem to gamble on the proverbial crawling up the wall.
Gotta give' em kudos for deciding to rum with the Bulls.

It's not what I think.
Older demographic on here, less prone to crash and burn?
I thought the Forum shrinkage was a separate issue to how many are punting on Betfair.
Only guessing ......
I have no idea what the rest means
does it mean you are you a fan of the Elixir business model?????

Perhaps forum shrinkage may have something to do with admission guidelines....

says it all
and regardless of the punters they eventually attract its ... new investors beware ... in putting up their savings for this ... 'new' bookie idea
as stated they will not be taking on existing bookmakers
well wtf could they even be contemplating .. in this 'mad' adventure
please hope its not the TomW idea of something like ... pick 12 horses in correct placing order type of bets ... $10 to win $10 million
goodness .. they might even think no-one will ever pick it and therefore not take out any insurance against the black swan event
still .. if the numbers ever came up they could just ... close down & apologise I guess
hang on .. nah .. that kind of thing doesn't happen with gambling anymore ... everything will be okay
