    This quote is more disturbing IMO

    "The company, which is listed in its own right, will now push to expand market-based bets **to cover shares** and commodities, such as oil and gold, as well.

    Then from the same article:
    "We do not have to take it to the ASX or anyone else and ask for clearance."

    A spokesman for the ASX confirmed the market regulator had no jurisdiction over Centrebet's offering."

    ----

    Personally I think the Government should legislate to nip this in the bud so that the ASX has indeed jurisdiction on gambling in shares. I can see big problems ahead with the big overseas players. Look at the corruption in betting on soccar games in some parts of Europe.
