The CEO of Entain Australia and New Zealand, Andrew Vouris, has called for Australia’s banks to be held to a higher standard in monitoring transactions linked to illegal offshore gaming operators amid concerns over the rising number of websites that target Australian emerging out of jurisdictions like Curaçao and Anjouan.
Vouris was asked for his thoughts on the offshore market after delivering a keynote address at the Regulating the Game conference in Sydney on Monday, and specifically what measures he believes could or should be taken to combat the threat. Entain’s Australian operations include leading sportsbooks Ladbrokes and Neds, while it also holds exclusive rights to operate sports and racing wagering in New Zealand via the NZ TAB.
