NT gambling bill proposes deposit caps, inducement bans for major online bookmakers
- Some of Australia's largest gambling companies would be forced to implement deposit caps for people aged 18 to 24 if a private member's bill passes the Northern Territory parliament.
- Fifty online bookmakers are licensed in the NT, including Sportsbet, Ladbrokes and Bet365, and independent MLA Justine Davis's bill would see a string of new laws imposed upon them if passed, including the deposit caps.
- The NT's gambling regulator is Australia's de facto watchdog for online bookmakers, due to the abundance of companies that choose to be licensed in the Territory because of its low taxes.
