Unlicensed domains face Australian iGaming regulator’s wrath

April 3, 2021 by Admin

Australia’s media and communications watchdog is reportedly embroiled in a difficult battle against iGaming sites that are plying their offerings to local punters while unlicensed.

The Guardian newspaper reported that the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is empowered by the provisions of the Interactive Gambling Act of 2001 to force domestic Internet service providers to block access to unlicensed online gambling domains. The regulator has recently placed 18 sites on its ‘blacklist’ of proscribed services, bringing the total number to 222.

Ten troubles

The newspaper report further stated that the ACMA has yet to tackle ten iGaming domains that are reportedly offering their services to Australian punters without an appropriate license despite the regulator being aware of their existence for some time now. The publication’s source revealed that these domains comprise Fair Go Casino, Two Up Casino, Red Dog Casino, True Blue Casino, Cherry Gold Casino, XPokies, BoVegas and PlayCroco, which calls itself an ‘online casino for Australian pokie lovers.’

When crime pays

The Guardian report continued, stating that the Asia-Pacific iGaming market has an estimated value of $70 billion and that Australian punters flocked to these services in their droves due to the numerous stay-at-home orders that were enforced in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The ACMA advised that it is ‘proceeding with the enforcement and disruption options’ it has at its disposal, including ‘website blocking’. The body revealed that it encounters many obstacles to its investigations as some of the offending sites’ use software from Internet infrastructure specialist, Cloudflare, to conceal their registrations.

Heavy penalties

An ACMA spokesperson reportedly advised the newspaper that screening technology of this type flies in the face of the Interactive Gambling Act of 2001 and that over 86% of illicit providers abandoned their Australian market aspiration after being contacted by the regulator or receiving a ‘formal warning.’ Unlicensed domains can face fines of up to $1.1 million for every day that they operate in the country without a valid license.

Eagle eye

The ACMA further stated that its website blocking initiative began in n November of 2019 and the action is now considered to be ‘effective in disrupting gambling services being provided into the Australian market.’

The spokesperson characterised the world of online gambling as ‘a challenging and complex environment to regulate,’ stating that the AMCA engages with licensed providers and stakeholders ‘to raise awareness of Australia’s online gambling laws.’

The spokesperson wrapped up by saying,

“Some of the illegal gambling services whose sites have been blocked have either withdrawn of their own accord or have not taken any action to circumvent the blocks. Others have sought to circumvent the blocks by launching mirror sites. We monitor and block mirror sites, sometimes repetitively.”

James Packer’s Sydney casino plans could be saved by Crown split

March 31, 2021 by Admin

Billionaire James Packer suddenly has a whole new set of possibilities to consider following a bid for his beleaguered Crown Resorts by the biggest private equity firm in the world, Blackstone.

Blackstone’s cash bid comes in at $11.85 a share and values the company at $8 billion. This has been widely regarded as an opportunistic move as it trades on the achievable value assuming Crown is broken up.

Blackstone’s potential plan to split and auction off Crown’s assets, which include its casinos in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, exposes that beyond the $5 billion value that the hotel and resort assets represent, the operation’s gaming licences also represent significant value. A casino’s gaming licences and property assets are traditionally linked but selling them separately is permitted.

Crown’s balance sheet values the licences at $1 billion, however, this value was established pre-pandemic and before the condemning findings of the NSW Bergin inquiry. The inquiry’s report states that Crown’s Melbourne and Perth casinos had been permeated by organised crime groups who launder money; this information was confirmed by an investigative report from The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Nick McKenzie.

The Bergin inquiry deemed Crown unfit to operate its Sydney licence, and the company was forced to halt the planned reopening of its casino floors. There are currently Royal Commissions reviewing Crown’s licences in Victoria and Western Australia.

Considering these developments, it is understandable that the value of Crown’s licences may be called into question and puts Blackstone’s seemingly miserly bid in firm perspective.

Crown’s licences aren’t worth what they used to be due to a recommendation in the Bergin Report to ban junket operators, some of which have been linked to organised crime. Crown Sydney’s particular business model relied heavily on revenues from international tourism, and specifically junket operators who bring in high-roller clients.

Under Crown’s Sydney licence, the venue may not operate any poker machines, in contrast to its competitor, Star Entertainment, which holds the other Sydney casino licence. Speculation that the smaller Star could put in a bid for Crown is rife.

While this is a possibility, it is widely regarded as an unlikely outcome as it would make more sense for Star to pursue Crown’s Sydney assets.

Star stands to gain the most out of a potential Crown Sydney break-up as it is a known quantity to NSW’s gaming regulator and more critically, holds a licence to operate poker machines in the city. This means that poker machines could make their way to Crown Sydney, off-setting lost revenue from the junket operator ban.

March 27, 2021 by Admin

The time of the year is approaching again when our world is filled with images of fluffy Easter bunnies delivering brightly-decorated eggs to children of all ages.

The scatter is a basket of golden eggs and landing 3 of these triggers free spins. The wild is represented by an Easter egg that substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbols.

Down the Rabbit Hole

You don’t have to dig down too far to reveal Spring Wilds’ cluster of premium bonus features. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters will award you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The bonus symbol has its own part to play, triggering the Spring Wilds Bonus round where you randomly get a lucky streak respin.

Spring Wilds

When a Spring Wild Bonus symbol appears the special bonus round will activate and all symbols except the Spring Wild Bonus symbol will disappear from the screen and the remaining symbols will become sticky. These remain in place while the reels respin and additional Spring Wild Bonus symbols could appear in the blank positions. The round ends when no new Spring Wild Bonus symbols appear and you will be paid out the combined value of the symbols on the reels.

Count Your Eggs

Fox Corporation eyes Australia’s sportsbetting goldmine

March 24, 2021 by Admin

US media monolith Fox Corporation is reportedly weighing its options around entering the Australian sportsbetting market via the purchase of a piece of Tabcorp Holdings Limited, a local land-based sportsbook operator.

The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported that the LA-based Corporation has been speaking with unnamed investment funds to see whether an acquisition of part of the media and bookmaking divisions of Tabcorp Holdings Limited is feasible. The broadcaster has also said to have recently filed for a local trademark for the FoxBet online sports wagering enterprise that it created with The Stars Group Incorporated in 2019.

Deciding on partners

The newspaper further reported that The Stars Group Incorporated purportedly paid around $171.58 million for an 80% stake in Australian sportsbetting firm BetEasy Proprietary Limited in early 2020.

The report stated that Fox Corporation may seek to achieve a similar acquisition by potentially allying with local bookmaking pioneer, Matthew Tripp.

Competing contenders:

Fox Corporation is the product of the 2019 acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox Incorporated by The Walt Disney Company and is headed by Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

The company could potentially expect fierce competition for the hypothetical acquisition as Tabcorp Holdings Limited is seemingly considering bids from the British sportsbetting company Entain and the American private equity firm, Apollo Global Management Incorporated.

The offers come at a time when Tabcorp is fielding rising investor pressure to exit the Australian sports wagering market and focus exclusively on its flourishing lotteries division.

Tabcorp the abundant

Bloomberg recently reported that the 2017Tabcorp Holdings Limited merger with Tatts Group Limited helped it reach its current local market share of approximately 57%. The company’s combined estate of over 4,400 land-based sportsbooks can be found across the country. Tabcorp’s media and bookmaking division is the company’s second most profitable division, generating 40% of its total revenues for the year to the end of June at close to $3.98 billion.

Fading interest

The Sydney Morning Herald report relayed that Tripp, a former head boss of Australian online sportsbetting pioneers, Sportsbet and also BetEasy Proprietary Limited, has reportedly made numerous bids for portions of Tabcorp Holdings Limited in the past. His interest in the company, however, appears to be waning as Tripp’s personal investment of close to $19 million in BetMakers Technology Group Limited, a local online wagering and content services provider appears to signal his interests shifting direction.

Vital connections

The publication further reported that non-industry firms looking to bid for the media and bookmaking segments of Tabcorp Holdings Limited would need to consider partnering up with an established operator to avoid regulatory quagmires. It was speculated that Fox Corporation should likely appeal to the Chairman of Racing News South Wales, Peter V’Landys, to leverage his relationship with Rupert Murdoch as he has the influence to veto acquisitions.

Crown Resorts keeps crashing and burning

March 19, 2021 by Admin

The last year has been a devastating one for Crown Resorts and it seems the spectre of misfortune is not done with the multinational operation yet. The latest round of bad news to hit Crown relates directly to its political and business associates.

From the top

It is important to understand exactly where the cascade of Crown’s troubles began to fully comprehend the state that it finds itself in now. In 2020, damaging reports began surfacing in the media that alleged unethical and outright criminal behaviour by Crown. A full spectrum of transgressions was unveiled, including bribery and money laundering.

The advent of these revelations could not have been more poorly timed as far as Crown was concerned. The company was at the time readying itself to open a new property in Sydney. This process was unceremoniously halted as a string of politicians called for investigations into the operation.

New South Wales took the lead and hosted a series of hearings where regulators were tasked with deciding whether Crown was suitable to possess a gambling license within the state. The Bergin Report concluded that this was not the case and the license was denied.

The December opening of the new Crown casino has been indefinitely postponed following this action, resulting in a flurry of internal turmoil. The company’s CEO, five board members, as well as the company’s secretary and general counsel all resigned. The individuals that stepped in to replace them are now working with state regulators to resolve compliance issues.

Fresh scrutiny

More trouble soon followed for the embattled operator and Crown now has to deal with new investigations initiated by regulators in Western Australia and Victoria. The least favourable outcome for the company would be having its license revoked in both states which would effectively put it out of business.

An end to political donations

Crown is, at this moment, barred from making any political contributions. This ends almost a decade of Crown being one of the most generous donors to Australian political parties and candidates.

In a recent statement, Crown validated the news, announcing the same via the Australian Securities Exchange. Andrew Wilkie, an anti-gambling advocate, and independent MP was thrilled at this development.

“Frankly, no political party should accept donations from any gambling company, and the pressure is now on the parties to follow Crown’s lead and promise to end their reliance on the industry, ” Wilkie said.

Murky ethics

Several law firms are pitching up to aid Victoria’s royal commission in its investigation into Crown Resorts, with a sizeable pay package attached to their services, but a conflict of interest may have arisen.

One of the law firms putting themselves forward for the task is Corrs Chambers Westgarth. The firm was previously employed by Crown to advise on some aspects of their intent to build a casino in NSW.

The Blackstone Group is one of Corrs’ major clients and also owns 10% of Crown Resorts, which means that it is the company’s second-largest shareholder.

Charles Livingstone, a gambling regulation expert, advised that it would be a “terrible look” if the Victorian government chose Corrs to assist them. He further stated that Blackstone is in the ideal position to acquire more Crown stock if the owner, James Packer, decides to sell.

On the other hand, Peter Cohen, a former director of the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, believes that it is near impossible to hire a law firm with the capacity to conduct a royal commission without any potential conflict with its clientele arising.

SkyCity Adelaide faces legal onslaught

March 17, 2021 by Admin

Wealthy Chinese businessman, Linong Ma has levelled a lawsuit against two junket operators and SkyCity Adelaide. The legal action follows allegations that the junketers, Xiongming Xie and his associate, Zhuangqian Fang, defrauded Ma to the amount of A$4.84 million and that Xie has close ties to organized crime.

For SkyCity Adelaide’s part, the operation is accused of breach of trust and negligence.

Junket gambling in a nutshell

Junkets were invented in the 1950s and provide casinos with high profile clients that they effectively scout in exchange for a monthly commission, provided the clients produce an expected level of profit for the house. Once these punters return to where they came from, the junket and the casino will settle any outstanding balances.

Chinese Junket clients pay money to junkets via bank transfer before they embark on their trips and these amounts are converted into “rolling chips,” non-negotiable tender accepted at VIP rooms of specific casinos.

This practice subverts the Chinese government’s disdain at large sums of money being taken out of the country and allows high rollers to sail past any potential bureaucratic obstacles.

The set-up

The events leading up to the filing of the lawsuit paint a sordid tale of deception.

Ma arrived at SkyCity Adelaide on May 21st, 2019 as part of a junket put together by Zhuangqian Fang. Ma later began to strongly suspect that Xie was actually behind the operation and using Fang’s junket license to obscure his role.

Ma was accompanied by a Ms. Goh on his junket, an individual identified by the lawsuit as being “employed or engaged by Mr. Xie as an escort or hostess for high-rollers.” A Ms. Zhang, also apparently employed by Xie, was also present, playing Baccarat

Ma withdrew $400,000 in chips with his sights set on baccarat and unfortunately promptly lost $370,000.

The next day saw Ma emerge with renewed energy, evident in his withdrawal of a further $600,000. The night’s rest seemed to have changed his fortunes and he found himself on a red-hot winning streak. He eventually walked away having accumulated $5,048,500 over and above his stake.

Unfortunately for Ma, this is when his luck ran out.

The con

Ma made the practical decision to cash out his chips, but his assigned companion, Ms. Goh, advised him that this could only be done the following Monday. A heated exchange with his escorts ensued, with the lawsuit describing the escorts as “behaving in a furtive and suspicious manner.”

Ma had to travel to Hong Kong for his son’s graduation and had the chips secured in a SkyCity safety deposit box that came with the promise that he had exclusive access to its contents.

Ma’s plans to return in June and collect his chips were dashed when it became evident that the bulk of his winnings had been transferred by SkyCity on May 29th.

The lawsuit alleges that the beneficiary of the transaction was Xiongming Xie and that no effort has been made to return Mr. Ma’s winnings to him.

Unmasking Xiongming Xie

Xie’s shadowy presence in this incident has dragged this reclusive individual into the light and several details have emerged.

The lawsuit claims that Xie has “substantial gambling debts” and that he is a known associate of junket operator Tom “Mr. Chinatown” Zhou, a criminal wanted by INTERPOL. The lawsuit further alleges that Xie is a “dangerous and violent criminal” who has been barred from all Australian casinos.

A 2016, assassination attempt at his Sydney home left Xie with multiple stab wounds that he managed to survive.

Three years later in 2019, he found himself being accused of being at the other end of the blade when he faced criminal charges in Australia after allegedly menacing a man with a knife while demanding a $10 million property transfer.

The lawsuit also claims that he has “links with Asian Triad criminal gangs.”

Aristocrat mulls M&A deal

March 10, 2021 by Admin

Aristocrat’s most recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) saw several issues critical to the company’s growth being discussed. Among the more exciting points of discussion was a proposal to employ the services of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) to increase its online footprint.

Aristocrat has experienced mixed fortunes of late, with its most recent report revealing a drop in group revenues of 5.9% to $4.1 billion for 2020. Its online gaming does not offer any real-money titles and is entirely comprised of social gaming offerings.

Despite this, Aristocrat’s online gaming engagement increased by 29%, taking some of the heat off the flagging land-based business which saw a decline of 35% due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to temporary closures of land-based casinos worldwide.

Trevor Croker, the CEO of Aristocrat, relayed to investors that the company would “significantly escalate” its interest in M&A, with an eye on cultivating the digital business.

He said, “We will continue to significantly escalate our focus on convergence products and services as part of our strategy. We remain ready to invest to accelerate our strategy. During fiscal 2020, we concluded two deals to acquire access to more world-class game development capability in Digital. Investments in the proven game studios Neskin and Proteus signaled our intent.”

This latest news had many analysts speculating that the company seems poised to explore real-money online gambling to counteract the losses experienced by the land-based sector.
