Stephen Conroy 'seriously considering' changes to online betting
COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stephen Conroy says he is seriously considering changes to online gambling laws that would allow punters to place bets via the internet during live sporting matches.
Senator Conroy said today it was an anomaly that people were currently able to place telephone and in-person bets during live sporting events, but not place similar bets online.
“This is something that we need to seriously consider,” Senator Conroy told the Nine Network.
“There will be an interim report released in the near future that will canvass these issues but the government has made no decisions at all on this.
