Dept of trade and industry-gambling review

I see the results of the commision have been published,and I see some huge positives.
1)they accept that betting exchanges and totes are similar in that they are both "person to person"gambling,and not in conflict,in principle,with the current gambling act.
2)they recomend that the NHA should be an autonomous body regulating ALL parties
3)they identify a conflict of interest in the operators also controlling the tote.......halleluhah.


I guess that not everybody will agree with their findings,but I love a lot of them,and especially the 3 mentioned.

Anything on the open bet with bookies?

I did not see anything specific at that level of detail,but I have not read every word yet.

Would agree some good points, are they sponsoring the night racing?

WTF Dave.....are you and Sly related?

No we only drink the same stuff at night lol

The dates for public hearings on the Gambling Review Commission's Report will take place

on 28 October and 2 November 2011 and not on 26 October 2011, Parliament’s Portfolio Committee

on Trade and Industry has announced.

seems like good news Rob - hopefully some exchanges can sponsor races here - maybe that would solve the lack of stakes problem.

If Fixed Odds Betting Terminals come to SA,Phum will get richer and racing will be fucked...

Hibs,what is a fixed odds betting terminal......sounds like some kind of ATM!
