Australia’s largest online bookmaker Sportsbet has been fined more than $313,000 for failing to protect thousands of customers from potential gambling harm.
The company was found to have breached its licence conditions by failing to provide 6,131 customers with “activity statements” over an 18-month period between 2022 and 2024.
The monthly statements from online bookmakers to customers are mandatory, to provide sports betting customers with a detailed breakdown of their gambling habits.
Australia’s de facto online gambling regulator, the NT Racing and Wagering Commission (NTRWC), fined the company $313,140 for the breaches, which it described in its decision notice last month as “appropriate and proportionate”.
