Your settings don't allow PMs, but please send me through any information you have on Sportsalive.
There is a good article on Making the Nut about the Sportsalive collapse and ACT lack of regulation:

Good post.
I wonder how to lodge a formal complaint against Greg Jones.
I already registered my displeasure with the ACT Gambling Commission, but perhaps its time to step it up a notch.

I think if you want to get any response from them, it's going to need more media attention...
Unfortunately, I don't think the bleeding hearts over at GetUp! would help out in this instance.

Not sure how to enable pm's . Read Fiskys article and if he ever puts out a part 2 everyone will know how the place was run and it won't be pretty. He was off to Bet365 as quick as he could go.
The ACT GRC has so much to answer for, how could everything be ok after repeated complaints by slow pays and dodgy accounting. (Kiwi(ponzi) L... W..... assured me everything was fine and my money was safe......shame on him)

If anyone got an offer for Bet365 I'm sure they'll take it. They're offering serious coin, apparently to get standard phone operators over from the UK to do a stint, they're giving them 80 to 90k.
Sportingbet lost their sports manager to them and I'm sure other agencies are experiencing the same thing. Regardless of that, fair enough to jump ship, good traders are hard to come by.

Pretty sure if you use the internet you can find out most of this information.
They are run out of Darwin and Sydney. They're established and several agencies use their odds for feature racing.
The only place it has been reported is the herald sun and their angle on the story was Malthouse's manager losing money in it as an investor.

I've read Fisky's article, but give us a preview into part 2 here then.

I've asked the liquidators and the ACT Gambling Commission for copies.
Will think about throwing good money after bad and get them myself if necessary.

I bought something online that had Directors personal details, fixed and floating charges, etc.
You can buy these other documents too.
If anyone wants to pool together, PM me and I'll arrange (this WON'T be like SportsAlive... You will get something for your $$$'s)

after being made aware of Fisky's article Canberra Times ran something today.

Once again a report totally failing to mention the apparent failure to comply with the requirement that punters' funds be maintained in a segregated account and overseen by the government regulator!

i'm dubious on 80-90k to answer phones. I know traders there that are on 90-100k and that requires 3wks training in the UK and some experience and skill. good money to work phones if that's accurate though.

The call centre manager is being offered 130k.
The Aussies they employ may not be getting the 80k but other agencies have taken notice because they've upped the salaries for their full timers a significant amount.

Worrying that the liquidators have confirmed a $1.5 million shortfall for punters.
Looks like at best a 1/6 return (given the 250k bond)
Just had a look at the 09/10 Annual Report for the ACT G&RC and at the end of the reporting period (30/6/2010) there were 3 bookmakers that were licensed in the ACT - ACT TAB Ltd; Betworks Pty Ltd and Sports Alive Pty Ltd.
Also, the Commission conducted 53 compliance audits of racing and wagering providers over the period and they DID NOT IDENTIFY A SINGLE BREACH of the Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001, the Racing Act 1999 and the Gambling and Racing Control (Code of Practice) Regulation 2002.
They did however conduct 2 probity investigations (read background checks) in relation to Sports Alive Board appointments during the 2009-10 financial year. In both instances, no adverse findings were reported and both individuals were found to meet the statutory suitability requirements of the legislation.
Further, the report notes that the Commission did not receive any complaints in relation to Sports Bookmakers during the reporting period.
It is clear that the Commission had the powers and legislative backing to properly supervise/monitor the accounts and financial activities of Sports Alive. However, the poor oversight and lack of any enforcement mechanism is disturbing. It seems that the Commission's incompetence goes back a long way and Greg Jones has played a large role to say the least.
