Patrick, my name is Terry Griffin and I am the betting steward at Racingnsw and the inspectors have forwarded your email to me. I will attempt to provide some answers but let me make it clear that the details are still being worked out.

1) it will apply to all bookmakers who hold an approval via NSW Racefields legislation to bet on NSW racing. Basically all bookies who bet on NSW racing.

2) This is still being decided, however our current internet limits are $3000 for metro races, $1500 provincial races and $1000 for country races so this maybe a guide.

3) Only races in NSW

4) I am unsure what you are asking here but it is hoped to be cemented and in place by July 1 2014.

5) All Australian residents.



Hoping this assists and please stay tuned to our website in the next week or so to view the final details of this important iniative.
Yours Sincerely,

Terry Griffin

Sounds good.

I await with baited breath for VIC & QLD to follow suit...

Discussion I heard on radio this morning from Dr Turf was that the limits should be set around $500-$800, or else the corps will just kick up a stink & close all accounts betting above that & winning.

Well Doc in case you happen to visit here, they already do that & for much less, so what will change?

If they do stick to those limits, it does seem like a strategic move to get rid of the corps, at least out of NSW racing.

Ladbrokes have already closed my account in wake of this news. The others will too if they can legally do it.

Things are looking very positive for punters. Looks strongly like NSW will become the first state with a fair marketplace for punters.

But what stops them from just closing accounts or offering much lower odds to successful punters?

Nothing currently. Ladbrokes already did it to me the other day when they got wind of the notion.

and they will say whats to stop you opening 10 accounts in friends names and using them and getting around the turn over limits.

its interesting regarding different prices to different customers - i think that may be against the trade practises act

IP addresses and browser settings.

A pro-punting mate of mine has used this for a long time.

It's not free.

There is a 14 day trial if you want.
