Oh c'mon, even in Australia where ... http://www.dcita.gov.au/broad/online_content_and_gambling_regulation/online_gambling/frequently_asked_questions ... "The Government remains concerned about the impact of online wagering, but recognises that this concern needs to be balanced against the impact of a ban on long established industries in Australia, such as the thoroughbred racing industry. A balance has been achieved by prohibiting 'ball by ball' betting-or wagering on any aspect of a sporting event after it has commenced. 'Betting on the run' is also prohibited because it involves betting on a sporting event after it has commenced. These types of betting are the most harmful form of online wagering. Other forms of online wagering are not prohibited by the legislation. Online wagering on non-sporting events is not prohibited by the IGA." See? "Online wagering on non-sporting events is not prohibited". C'mon, let's play. regards, alexander.
