RVL welcomes announcement of Wagering Licence Applicants PDF Print E-mail

RACING Victoria Chief Executive, Rob Hines, has welcomed the Victorian Government’s announcement that invitations to apply for the Victorian wagering licence have been issued to a shortlist of three wagering service providers.

“We are delighted that the Government has attracted such a strong and competitive field to bid for the licence and we look forward to working with the successful applicant,” Hines said.

“The post-2012 wagering joint venture will be vitally important to securing a growing and viable racing industry so we are keen to see the licence awarding process completed as soon as possible and give the industry certainty about its future partner.”

THE short-listed applicants announced by the Victorian Government today are:
• Tabcorp Holdings
• Tatts Group
• Ladbrokes PLC

The 12-year wagering and betting licence will provide:
• The right to offer both pari-mutuel and fixed odds betting on racing, sports and other
events, including the only authority to conduct wagering and betting via an off-course retail
network;
• The right to establish and operate the only betting exchange based in Victoria; and
• The right to offer approved simulated racing games
The Victorian Government also announced its intention to work towards awarding the licence
before the end of the year.
