Lottoland had offered to provide local retailers 10 percent of every bet made on its site but they rejected the proposal.<\/p>\n

Australia.- Several Australian states have expressed their intentions to ban Lottoland\u2019s operations as they\u2019re analysing a legislation to ban \u201csynthetic lotteries\u201d. The company offered newsagents a deal to try to calm the waters and work a plan to be able to keep operating in the country.<\/p>\n
The Australian Lottery and Newsagents Association (ALNA) issued a statement yesterday in which it rejected Lottoland\u2019s offer as the effort was perceived as a further attempt to siphon customers from Australia\u2019s newsagents.<\/p>\n
Lottoland\u2019s proposal allowed newsagents to take a 10 percent cut of every bet one of the 600k customers made with Lottoland, whilst the newsagents would be asked to promote the brand in stores. Nevertheless, Adam Joy, CEO of ALNA, said that Lottoland had spent the past year and a half \u201cdenigrating newsagents , and a partnership requires trust and usually does not involve a party that is aggressively trying to detract from the other party\u2019s livelihood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would appear that Lottoland\u2019s recent offerings are really desperate token gestures and a PR stunt, rather than a solution to a problem that not only affects news and lottery agents but also affects consumers who are misled,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
