“Just when you thought the Northern Territory was the worst regulated jurisdiction in Australia and the perfect base for the online gambling companies, along comes the Tasmanian Government with the remarkable admission that ‘…existing Tasmanian regulatory requirements do not appropriately reflect the technology, operating models and governance arrangements of modern online wagering businesses.’” Mr Wilkie said.
“Sure the Tasmanian Government says they’ll update the regulations, but I’ll believe that when I see it. And call me pedantic, but isn’t the right time to do that before you roll out the red carpet to a predatory industry?
“Good grief, you couldn’t make this stuff up. Time for a new number plate: Tasmania – the gambling predators’ state.”
Tasmanian Treasurer Eric Abetz has announced that betr Entertainment Limited has been granted a Tasmanian Gaming Licence.
