'Gamblers are being cheated': Wilkie and Costello call for industry royal commission

ABC Investigations also obtained a series of documents from inside bet365 that reveal how winning customers are restricted from betting large amounts with the company.

"If you stop winning, you're allowed to bet more and more and more. It's the opposite of responsible gambling.""Bet365 is using data and algorithms to maximise profits, but in doing so they are exacerbating gambling harm," he said. He believes state and territory governments have become reliant on gambling taxes so it is not in their interest to prioritise consumer protection.

Called my bookie to see what the odds are on this getting up. I passed. At least there’s racing tomorrow.

Well bloody good.. Their own stupid fault! Stop calling for a Freaking Royal Commission for every single thing these days! Waste of $ for a start & those held accountable do Jackshyte to improve things anyhoo! Just make gambling dens or whoever pay tax, maybe double the tax? 😜

It's fantastic this information is getting out there... but it's been common knowledge in the sports betting world for a loooooooong time and nothing has changed

Let's just ban gambling. Anyone who's done probability knows the odds are stacked against you

Everyone with a pair of brain cells to rub together knows this.

Call a RC into these two wowsers I reckon.

GRDC also gambling with$25 million taxpayers money in venture capital for loser companies. Worse they have somone else picking the group. Gambling is a waste of our money. GrainProducers1

Seriously, the money this government makes from gamblers I can tell you now little will be done about it. More casino's are being built as we speak.

Gamblers are always being cheated. That’s the entire gambling game right there !

A tax on the stupid.

Well, who ever would have thought that, how do people think they can build these massive places and furbish them, with your money, that's how.

Damn. I was against gambling. But if Wilkie is against gambling, then I must have been wrong.🤔

Wilkie & Costello discover what almost everyone with a brain has always known, gambling is a tax on people who can't count. When it is part of a destructive addiction it is a mental health issue, so stop being so bloody useless, try and fix that massive hole in how we treat it.

Who is surprised 😮 Gambling is like binge drinking- great whilst you are indulging but the hangover after is painful 😖

Gambling Industry reacts -

No, they are idiots, always have been idiots. Never mind being cheated. Give your money away to homeless or a charity rather than gamble it away if you have too much.

'They live in fear': Violence a common issue in disability group homesA man who is afraid to go to the toilet and an assault victim who sleeps in the hallway are among the many people living in fear in disability group homes. Please don’t generalise, you make these occurrences sound common place. The Royal Commission will hopefully flush out the incompetents in this industry.
