ACMA clears Sportsbet of alleged in-play betting breaches

Sportsbet offered betting on the Brownlow Medal during the medal count live broadcast on 18 September this year. ACMA flagged the case as the betting was taking place on an event that was live. It is not permitted under current sports betting rules set out in the Interactive Gambling Act (IGA) 2001.

ACMA cleared Sportsbet of alleged in-play betting breaches. SportsBet did not contravene advertising prohibitions set out in the IGA by authorising the broadcast of betting markets during the Brownlow medal count.

ACMA cleared Sportsbet of alleged in-play betting breaches. ACMA also looked at similar in play betting offered by SportsBet on the Norm Smith medal (AFL) and the Clive Churchill medal in the National Rugby League. Both awards are based on performance of players during an individual match. The winner is selected and announced at the end of the event.
