It was a bright spot in the otherwise bleak Aussie gambling scene. Peta Murphy, chair of a committee in Australia’s House of Representatives, grilled SportsBet CEO Barni Evans on the practice of limiting and banning bettors that are winning. She said she personally knew of someone affected by this, and it became quite apparent from […]
It’s a record that nobody in the gambling industry ever wants to break. The issues stem from repeated failures to adhere to AML and ‘social responsibility’ standards. More on the nebulous social responsibility aspect further down, but first let’s jump right into the facts and figures and get a few things out of the way. […]
