ACMA rules Tabcorp’s Tap in-play service qualifies for retail exemption
Australia’s ACMA concluded that Tabcorp’s Tap in-play service qualifies as a place-based betting service under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Customers must use a station inside a venue to complete a wager; the regulator said the decision was finely balanced. The determination follows a separate fine against Tabcorp for online in-play betting, according to the report.
Operators can distinguish the permitted venue-based service from online in-play wagering that remains prohibited.
