Australia.- Online gambling operator Betfair has increased its commission on customer winnings for NRL as the league prepares to return following the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Betfair will once again allow betting on the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) after they suspendings the sport’s markets back in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All terms of the new partnership have not been disclosed, but bettors will now face a market base rate (MBR) of 10 per cent for the remainder of the 2020 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
