Overview
Litigation Lending is providing funding to Maurice Blackburn Lawyers in connection with the class action brought on behalf of individuals who have suffered losses on certain Sportsbet in-play bets made between 24 December 2018 and 24 December 2024, using Sportsbet’s Fast Code Service.
The Fast Code Service is part of the in-play betting (also known as live betting) product offered by Sportsbet, for placing bets on sporting events after those events have begun. A code (e.g. ‘XPE’) is shown to the customer once they make a bet selection on the app or website. The customer then calls Sportsbet and the code is recited to a Sportsbet staff member as part of placing the bet.
In summary, this class action alleges that Sportsbet’s Fast Code Service is prohibited under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), that Sportsbet engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and breaches of contract by offering that service, and that customers who incurred losses through bets placed using the Fast Code Service may be entitled to recover those losses.
