I totally agree Stugots, media attention and lobbying the local member, writng to the minister etc, will have far more effect than trying to sue the bookie which he'll lose hands down. Because he's facing a losing battle, it will all be swept under the carpet, a one liner about him losing the case and we'll hear no more.
My contention is that corporates are barring winning punters only and therefore it is only problem gamblers which are sought as long term clientele. An enquiry could prove this when reviewing each client's turnover. It would be clear that recreational punters do not make up the bulk of losing clients. In fact recreational punters basically use the tote (as a percentage).
Finally, the regulators are responsible for this, not the bookies.
The bookies are just doing what they are allowed to do.
