Parts of Australia seemed determined to continue unconstitutionally blocking foreign online casinos and betting sites from equal and fair access to the Australian gambling industry. Betfair is the major gambling group that has been caught in the crosshairs – the company has adamantly demanded fair access to the gambling market in Western Australia and is now in the process of legal action that will similarly open the New South Wales gambling market to foreign online casino gambling operators.

The online casino betting industry all over Australia is only just now in the processing of truly opening to foreign operators and some of the autonomous regions are sticking to their outdated and discriminatory regulations. Betfair and Sportingbet are the two main international companies filing lawsuits and contesting the allegedly unconstitutional restrictions. The Western Australia High Courts only just struck down its discriminatory legislation once Betfair pressed the case all the way to the High Courts demanding fair access to WA land and online casino bettors – the company is attempting the same process now in the NSW region.

Based on the High Courts decision to open the WA land and online casino betting markets to foreign companies, both Betfair and Sportingbet feel that they have a reasonable strong case against the discriminatory advertising restrictions in the region. Foreign online betting companies are not able to advertise in local media, including newspaper, television, magazines, and other media formats while domestic gambling companies have regulated access to all of these outlets. While there is no guarantee that Betfair and Sportingbet will win their case in NSW, there is a strong chance.
