Just wondering if it's only a gentleman's agreement in the end or are the laws enforceable?


Yes, I'm not au fait with it all either, but they operate on the USA races from Malta also, we just have access. However, TVG have pulled a legal loophole on them recently which bans them from operating on any USA meeting covered by the TVG network.

The laws are enforceable, as I understand it the gaming act in the UK differs greatly to the Australian Gaming Act. This is why the other exchanges cannot offer Australian races at all. They must be resident in Australia and licenced. I think Vanuatu and Norfolk Island got around this because they had offices in Australia as well as those areas. They paid licence fees but not tax. Betfair is different, their market share means it is worth the Clubs going after them.

Maybe they can do something similar, but I doubt it because judgements have already been made, and that's the crux of the problem now.
