"The Rann Government introduced amending legislation in State Parliament today to ensure South Australia’s three racing codes are not financially disadvantaged because of moves interstate to charge wagering operators a fee for accepting bets on their racing events.
Wagering operators include all TABs, on course totalisators, bookmakers and betting exchanges.
Gambling Minister, Carmel Zollo says the amending legislation to the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000 will enable South Australia’s three racing codes to ensure a financial contribution is received from wagering operators that take or facilitate bets placed on South Australian races."
