Gambling inquiry warned too many rules could hurt sports

Sports and gambling bosses have warned a parliamentary inquiry that taking too big a swing at the online gambling industry could hurt Australia’s favourite sporting codes and force people to gamble illegally.

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan says the code can’t afford to lose sports betting revenue confirming it receives a cut of gambling turnover on its matches as well as sponsorship deals.
