Story summary

The peak body for online gambling companies has responded to proposed legislation that aims to restrict gambling practices in the Northern Territory. The bill, set to enter the NT parliament next Wednesday, would mandate deposit caps and ban inducements for 50 licensed online bookmakers operating in the territory. These changes could affect customers across Australia, as the companies operate nationally despite being licensed locally. The industry's peak body is opposing these measures, arguing they will harm their business operations.
