Hallo! And Good day!

I don't have any funds with 18bet at the moment so I can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure you still can (I have done so before).

I had a look at Sportmarket and they list 18bet as one of their partners anyway. Let us know how you get on with them. I'm intrigued!

[Gunnerwin]

Not I haven't can you bet in play from Australia? Thanks
I have found an alternative solution, sports broker company Sportmarket.
Easy to set up Service based in Malta that allows you to use multi offshore books and bet online inplay for a decent amount.
Get on board everyone

Have you tried 18bet?

[Gunnerwin]

Update- Parimatch don't accept USD from Australia - so I'm almost certain now there is no other alternative available to bet with foreign bookmakers from Aus

[Gunnerwin]

Brilliant idea actually, gets around the supposed (responsible gambling) issue with only low limits. Government won't listen anytime soon though. I have found one bookie parimatch, they have said Aus customers can bet but I'm having trouble depositing as though only accept USD. I let you know how I go

[blackswan]

The situation sucks. I guess there's the false IP address approach, but that would require using some dodgy bookmaker that doesn't care about confirming your identity. There are third party services that I presume use a bookmaker's API to automatically place the bets on your behalf, but I don't know how reputable they are or how well they support live betting.

Move to England?

I wish there was some compromise. Given that bookmakers set much higher minimum stakes for phone bets than online bets, perhaps make it so that if you want to stake between $0.01 and $50, let us bet live online, and if we want to wager more than $50, force us to bet live over the phone. At least trial that approach to see if the sky falls on our heads. If anything, the requirement to bet live over the phone sends punters the message that we need to increase our stakes, because I doubt many bookmakers would accept a live phone bet with a small stake of, say $5.00.

The day has come guys, unfortunately Pinnacle now no longer offer there service to AU customers. Looks like we are stuck with the phone call option to place a live bet. Any other suggestions?

If pinny got a liecence in Aus it would mean live betting would not be available which for me is my reason to bet with them.

I know right, this sucks! I really hope Pinnacle sticks around.

[Gunnerwin]

Yes this seems correct my Matchbook & 10 bet accounts are now closed by the bookies due to regulatory changes apparently. If pinnacle goes that would be the final straw for me. I guess the only other way is to use a different VPN??

[blackswan]

I read in the SMH that overseas bookmakers can no longer offer accounts to Australians

If that's true I hope Pinnacle gets an Australian licence.

Also, heard a rumour about punters green mailing offshore sites as well. Prolly bullshit.

[Anon E Mous]

The same thing happened years ago with 365. These guys are just cleaning up their act so they can apply for an onshore license.

[Gunnerwin]

I've now had my Marathon Bet account closed as they no longer offer services to Australia residents. Not sure what is going on in the U.K. at the moment but that's 3 books all closing services to Australian residents in 3 months.
