Motivation Behind TabCorp Compliant

Gambling Craft just recently reported on the alarming situation in Victoria, Australia involving the confiscation of a betting and gambling machine that Victorian officials claim was being used as an online casino portal. VenueNet, the company that owns the machine has hotly contested the claims and now, six months later, is demanding that the Victorian officials return the company’s machine. The initial complaint on the internet kiosk came from TabCorp, the state’s monopolistic land betting company that claimed that VenueNet’s machine was causing losses for the land betting company because internet users were able to access the online casinos from VenueNet’s terminal.

TabCorp launched all of these recent claims against VenueNet, and now it comes to light that the main motivating force behind TabCorp’s erroneous claims against VenueNet lie within the fact that TabCorp is petitioning the state government for the exclusive rights to operate gambling terminals within pubs in Australia. VenueNet was actually a step ahead of TabCorp by launching these internet kiosks and the company had to fight dirty by calling VenueNet a glorified online casino in order to save enough time for TabCorp to potentially win exclusive pub terminal rights.

VenueNet accurately claims that any internet terminal in Australia can be used to access the online casinos just by virtue of being connected to the internet and VenueNet’s machine has never been nor is marketed as an internet gaming device. The Victorian officials have not budged on this issue yet, and VenueNet is now likely in a race against TabCorp for rights to operate within pubs in Australia.
