Australian Sports Club Partners With Online Gambling Operator - 1st October 2008

Online gambling exists whether or not the American government and United States sports leagues wants to admit it. While American sports leagues continue to operate as if gambling on their sports does not exist, other countries' teams are embracing online gambling.

The Gold Coast Titans have formed a partnership with Betezy, an online gaming company. The interesting part of this scenario is that the Titans are not the only club that is expected to enter into this type of agreement.

Manly and Manchester, the two teams that will face off in The premiere league decider, also have stated that they will most likely be entering into agreements with online gambling operators as well.

In fact, many of the clubs are moving towards this type of partnership. The NRL has approved some of these partnerships while they have denied others. They are reviewing all cases involving sports betting companies.

"While we accept that sports betting is a reality and that clubs are looking to build revenue streams, we will retain the right to examine each proposal on a case by case basis," said NRL Chief Executive, David Gallop.

In the United States, sports leagues such as the NFL have pretended that gambling does not exist on their sport. They like to believe that the millions of viewers that tune in to their championship game, the Super Bowl, do so for the product.

The reality is that most of the people who watch could care less about the product and are only interested in one of the gambling wagers they have on the game.

In Australia, they are recognizing that sports betting exists and allowing to let the industry grow with regulations in place to ensure the integrity of their game.
