It looks like a mixed bag "down" there. Seems like some of the same legislation the UK is working through (addressing problem gambling/affordability checks) has already been enacted in Australia. There appear to be some advantages for the "regular punter" but still some bettors having accounts cut off.
Was a bit of a challenge to understand some of the bookmakers' issues without knowing the nature of some of the taxes they are subjected to.
Australia, though I'd venture to say most of us here think of it as one big country, is unlike the UK (one overall BHA) and more like the U.S., it appears, with regard to individual states within the country regulating/taxing differently.
Good stuff!
