Tried to open some bookie accounts with UK bookies last night, and successfully opened six accounts with smaller bookies no problem at all.
However, the three biggest bookies would not accept Australian customers at all.
When queried they said it was because of Government legislation or commercial agreement. I believe this is a furphy, because six other bookies welcomed me knowing I was in Australia.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
