"Unscrupulous advertisers will no longer be able to offer inducements to consumers to open betting accounts under new laws passed, Deputy Premier and Minister for Racing Rob Hulls said. Mr Hulls said consumers would be better protected under bookmaking advertising legislation targeting Victorian and interstate bookmakers passed in Parliament as part of the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill 2009. “All registered Victorian bookmakers will need to have a Responsible Gambling Code of Conduct approved by the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation to better protect the Victorian public,” he said."
