Abstract

This paper documents the growth of sports betting services and providers in Australia, and critically reviews the policy issues of online gambling, cross-border betting, and betting exchanges that demonstrate the power imbalance that exists between interest groups in developing sports betting policy in Australia. It is argued that the policy framework for sports betting is dominated by three interest groups: the racing industry, the Totalizator Agency Boards, and state governments that have historically acted to protect revenue and taxation streams. As a result, sports organisations have been unable to maximise revenues in the form of product fees for the use of their intellectual property by wagering operators.
