Australian Casino teams are sick of being cut out of the massive revenues cultivated by online Casinobooks who are allowing betting on their matches and games.  In response to what they have been calling an online betting cold-shoulder, Australian Casino teams - as a whole - have come together in order to convince their state governments to mandate that online betting websites shake a percentage of their profits with the teams concerned.

The petition covers every sport from Rugby to Cricket - and everything in between.  Basically, its purpose is to make betting from unauthorized online betting agencies illegal.  The key to having the Australian government approve of any given Casino betting website is that the online betting site must agree to compensate a predetermined percentage of revenues while also allowing the teams and the government to investigate and have access to their players betting history.  This is especially important to avoid players betting against themselves and thus throwing the game.

The effort was going well until the Australian Football League broke away and decided to strike up a quick-fix with the popular British online betting agency, BetFair.  Their deal includes betting rights for five years, in exchange for £1 million and access to any confidential betting information pertaining to their games and/or players.
