Angry Bookies are clowns!

*Conditions apply. Excludes VIC, SA, NSW & WA.

I mean seriously, why send this to someone who you know from your database resides in Victoria and is banned.

So unless you live in Queensland, ACT or the Northern Territory, you can't get on. And you're wiping out at least two thirds, probably more, of your clients from it.
Can't see many outback cowboys using their satellite phones to get on this special deal myself.

Possibly State legislation, not the bookies CP. The state governments in question don't like their residents being targeted by bookmaker marketing. Same archaic thinking the feds use for banning internet in play sports betting.

That's partly true RP, but NSW and/or WA are sometimes not excluded by other bookies. I know it's true for VIC/SA.
Point is, they know where I reside, and email is targeted.
Honestly could bring a case against them for trade practices.

Why not just send to clients who can take advantage?
It's called baiting.

Oh yep, makes sense.
