Gambling operators are permitting betting on the outcome of lotteries, with these synthetic lottery operators making no contribution to State lotteries taxes.
Lottoland is a bookie and not a lottery operator. That’s why you can’t enter a lottery via Lottoland. Instead you place a bet with them. That’s why there’s a Federal Court order stopping them from suggesting you’re actually participating in a lottery. Lottoland is not required to pay State or Territory lottery taxes. If more players move from real lotteries to Lottoland, governments will lose these taxes that currently help fund schools, hospitals and roads.Losing lottery customers to Lottoland will destroy family run news agencies and small businesses. When you gamble with Lottoland, you’re gambling away the future of small Australian businesses and the families they support. Online lottery betting operators are not subject to the rigorous regulatory regime applied to traditional licensed lottery operators that protect consumers and ensure lotteries prizes are paid to winners.
This petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House:
Gambling operators are permitting betting on the outcome of lotteries, with these synthetic lottery operators making no contribution to State lotteries taxes.
We therefore ask the House to: Amend the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 so as to ban betting on the outcome of lotteries and thereby prohibit the operation of synthetic lotteries in Australia.
