The Manly Sea Eagles co-captain, Jason King, is quickly getting over missing the end of the Eagles 2011 NRL premiership campaign, stating that he is more then ready to get back in the mix during the upcoming 2012 NRL season. After tearing his pectoral in round 22 of the 2011 season (vs the Roosters, Eagles won) he was forced to watch the teams push toward grand-final glory from the sidelines. “It’s definitely in the past, I sort of dealt with it when I got the injury,” says King. “It was very disappointing to miss that stage of the season but as every rugby league player knows it comes with the territory and it’s something you’ve got to get used to [...]

Their wishes have been answered, as Sri Lanka will meet India for the first time in the second match of the Commonwealth Bank Series on Wednesday in Perth. Since the World Cup final, India have entered the match off the back of a 4-0 Test series whitewash, and an opening tri-series defeat by Australia. Right hander and Indian top order Virender Sehwag claims that he is keen to get off to a quick start, quoting “I tried to play a little different in Perth because the ball was [...]

The Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador has chosen not to retire from the sport, despite being hit with a 2 year ban as well as being stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) banned Contador in 2010 for an alleged doping violation at the 2010 Tour. Alberto Contador’s suspension is in force through to August 6 2012, meaning the cyclist has been stripped of his 2010 Tour victory and will be unable to take part in this year’s Tour De France and the 2012 London Olympic games. The Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) cleared Contador of taking the anabolic agent clenbuterol in Feb 2011 even though he tested positive, prompting the International Cycling Union [...]

With the London Olympics just 171 days away, governments, law enforcement agencies and betting operators agreed last week to work more closely together to fight illegal betting and corruption in sports. The call comes ahead of the 2012 London Olympics which are set to record phenomenal figures for Olympics betting on the back of a huge global rise in sports betting. The International Olympic Committee hosted a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland of sports leaders, government ministers, licensed betting operators, lottery companies and the international police agency Interpol. One year after the IOC opened talks to coordinate anti-corruption efforts, delegates reviewed progress reports from three working groups and agreed to create a panel to monitor progress worldwide. Games officials want governments [...]

An ever decreasing number of punters choosing to be barred from entering gaming venues is worrying The Department of Justice, who revealed that 1121 self-exclusion deeds were signed in Victoria in the 2010-11 financial year, compared to 2004 the previous year (nearly half). A specialist state government advisory council has decided to put the self-exclusion program, which allows a problem gambler to nominate gaming venues they want to be barred from, under review. The self-imposed ban is enforced by the venues who photograph those who enter the program and ask punters to leave if they show up. The program faces the immediate flaw of gamblers being able to exclude themselves from one venue but go to another, a point echoed [...]

Ozzyroos, the Qantas Australian under 23 football team, bared a 0-2 loss to Uzbekistan yesterday – a massive blow to their 2012 London Olympics qualifying efforts. The extreme temperatures at the Tashkent’s JAR Stadium caused the match to be moved from 8pm to 3pm on Sunday, but with the average match temperature at -12 C, even a strong start with captain Oliver Bozanic and Mate Dugandzic each having shots on target within the first 10 minutes, was not enough to win the game. Uzbekistan took a 0-1 lead in the 27th minute, with Kenja Turaev bearing the snow and ice covered pitch to smash a long range shot past the Ozzyroos keeper Mat Ryan. Soon after, a cruel offside call [...]

Both the Australian National Government and the State Governments are coming under increasing scrutiny over pokies reform. The latest issue in the last 24 hours is over the apparent “backflip” of the Victorian State Government of pokies legislation. Anti-gambling campaigner Tim Costello has been vocal about his disgust over Julia Gillard’s broken promise to independent MP Andrew Wilkie. The deal that was agreed upon to get her to office was to legislate a national roll-out on May 8th, 2012 of the mandatory pre-commitment technology. “Another backflip, another broken promise by a government of a different political stripe,” Costello said. “To be honest, I have given up on state government – and I mean that.” “As soon as an opposition is [...]

Sonny Bill Williams will start as the overwhelming favourite for his February 8 bout against Clarence Tillman after online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au priced the Kiwi at $1.20 and his American opponent as the $4.25 outsider. Williams will fight Clarence Tillman for the vacant Kiwi heavyweight title in Hamilton on Wednesday night. Tillman, now a New Zealand resident, was called in as a late replacement to fight Williams after original opponent Richard Tutaki was charged with a number of criminal offences. Tillman (11-8-2) defeated Tutaki over six rounds last year, and has lost just one of his past six fights while Tutaki has lost four of his last five. Tillman had been preparing in the gym to face Soilomon Haumono on February [...]

In a sign of how confident punters are, over 85 percent of all bets on the market have been for a decrease between 0.01 and 0.25 basis points. There has also been some support for rates to remain on hold, with the odds coming in from $4.00 to $3.50. However while an interest rate cut looks to be on the cards, home owners may be in for a rude awakening, with none of the big four banks to pass on the full rate cut a steady favourite at [...]
Continue Reading Even The Betting Suggests Banks Will Renig On Rate CutsWelcome to AustralianGambling.com.au - This site has been specifcially built for Australians, and we pride ourselves on being able to fill a huge void in the market. International gambling sites don't know what we want, they don't mention if Aussies are allowed to play, if we can play in AUD. That's where we come in.
We have personally gambled for real money at every gambling site listed on here. Having over a decade of experience in the online gambling industry, we feel we have a lot to offer both casual Australian punters, and the more serious grinder.
I (Nick) have owned a thoroughbred and a trotter. The racehorse was going around in Brisbane, trained by Darryl Hansen. The pacer was trained by an old friend in Adelaide, and went around at Globe Derby. Neither of them were world beaters (they each won a race), and I don’t own them anymore, but I’m looking to get back in the game soon.
Kevin is a greyhound trainer in Melbourne, and a serial punter. He’s a member of MENSA so he definitely understands the more hardcore gambling concepts. Between us we have a wealth of experience, having gone to conferences in Las Vegas, met with bookmakers in Sydney and Melbourne - we are in at ground level with these Australian bookmakers and Aussie online casinos.
This is a pretty tough question. What is the sports betting site for Australians? Short answer; it depends. If live betting, mobile betting, NRL betting, A-league betting, AFL betting - the answer I give you will change.
Do you want the best bookmaker bonus? A Centrebet promo code that gives you a $200 free bet? Chances are if you are chasing something like that, you are a casual punter. Maybe you like to bet on the teams you follow, maybe you win your local footy tipping comp, or fantasy football league.
The more hardcore Australian sports bettors will be looking for competitive odds, betting lines, point spread movements, latest trends and betting data. We’ll have all the before the 2012 NRL betting season, and before AFL betting 2012 begins.
In the near future we will have extensive international sportsbook reviews for those that like to bet on overseas sports and leagues. Some of these bookies also allow you to bet on Australian sports. Overseas bookmakers are usually a better option for NFL betting, NBA betting, EPL betting and the major international games. Think about how many competitive bookmakers there are in the world vs here in oz. In Australia, I strongly believe there are only three top bookies, Sportingbet, Centrebet and Sportsbet. Stay away from the TAB.
It really isn’t difficult at all to buy online lotto tickets. It’s as simple as registering an account with OzLotteries and then logging in there whenever you want to buy lottery tickets online in Australia.
Yes that’s right, you can play Online Keno. But you might be surprised, it’s not the same as you will find at your local pub or RSL club. Usually real money online Keno can be found at online casinos like Royal Vegas.
When I went to Las Vegas in 2010 there were a ton of “Keno” pokies. Basically you sit at the machine, punch in your numbers and watch the draw. It works similar in concept to our pub version, but feels more like playing the pokies. I think online Keno is more like bingo online.
Let’s get this out of the way right now, there are no “Australian Online Casinos.” There used to be back when Lasseters was around, but not anymore. Usually a casino will have a “skin” that will be marketed at Australian online casino players. It uses the same software like Rival, Playtech or others, but just has a different interface.
That being said, I’ve met with the team from Royal Vegas Casino personally. I am very diligent when choosing an online casino to promote, hence why you only currently see one offered here. They are by far the best option currently available for Aussies to play in real money AUD online. They accept Australian banking options for gambling like Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB. Cashout times are quick, and they don’t have a shred of complaints against them in terms of trust.
