Tabcorp Managing Director and CEO Adam Rytenskild has warned that Australian towns and cities will soon resemble the high streets of London with their proliferation of gambling brands if state regulators don’t crack down on attempts by online betting competitors to hack the retail wagering market.

His comments, delivered during a Keynote Address at this week’s Regulating the Game conference in Sydney, come with Tabcorp embroiled in a legal stoush with rival Ladbrokes over the launch of Ladbrokes Lounges in select pubs and clubs across the country, part of a deal it signed with the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) last October.
