Watchdog issues News Corps Betr show cause notice two days after launch

News Corp-backed online wagering group Betr has been hit with a regulatory investigation just two days after its highly anticipated launch, with a key state government authority warning a promotion the outfit ran this week may have breached advertising laws. Liquor & Gaming NSW on Friday issued Betr a “show cause” notice after the company ran advertisements in News Corp’s tabloid newspapers offering 100-1 odds for bets up to $10 on any horses racing in the Melbourne Cup in November. The regulator said it would investigate the issue and if necessary respond with the “full force” of the law. Betr, the new venture from veteran gambling entrepreneur Matthew Tripp and former BetEasy executive Andrew Menz, launched this week ahead of the Everest Carnival and Caulfield Cup, two of the biggest horse racing events of the year. The outfit is backed by News Corp – the owner of a string of prominent newspapers in Australia and controlling shareholder of pay TV giant Foxtel, Las Vegas-based investment firm Tekkorp Capital and ASX-listed BetMakers Technology Group. The Murdoch family, which controls News Corp, has pushed heavily into sports betting in the US after it became legal in certain states in 2018. Betr is the media giant’s first foray into wagering in Australia. Betr founder Matthew Tripp.Credit:Jesse Marlow Liquor & Gaming NSW told this mashtead that Betr had until October 20 to respond to its concerns that the advertisements breached the state’s gambling laws. The authority will then “consider what enforcement action, if any, can be taken”. Print advertising that includes inducements to open betting accounts is prohibited under NSW legislation. About 30 Betr advertisements will be investigated for possible breaches, the regulator said. Under the Betting and Racing Act of 1998, Betr faces a maximum fine of up to $110,000 for each public ad or prosecution in court if it fails to persuade the regulator it was not in breach. The Australian Financial Review first reported the suspected breach on Friday morning. Betr declined to comment. Betr’s app became available on Thursday, a couple of days after the outfit was selected as the preferred bidder for the WA wagering licence. Wagering sources close to the situation said the WA government had granted the new bookmaker two weeks to demonstrate it has the financing required to hold the $1 billion WA TAB.

Spring Racing XVII.

After a slow start out of the gates, Spring is started to hit its stride. Hay fever hit the lead early but has started to wane, leaving the straight open to canapés, bubbles and deserts to duke it out. Yes, spring means one thing, The Spring Racing Carnival.

Outfitting:

Obviously you have to look the part, otherwise what’s the point? But don’t let the overall look of your event, fall at the final hurdle. Packaging is probably pretty low on the to do list but it is a cost effective and easy way to complete the look and feel of your event.

Wine:

Wine and usually an overindulgence of wine, is a key pillar to The Spring Racing Carnival. We have two distinct options for wine packaging, both of which are sourced from Europe.

Premium Range – Available in both single and double configurations, this option includes a handle and is open at the front. Comes in Gold, White and Natural.

Corporate Range – Our corporate range offers a more upmarket look and feel. It comes in both Navy and Nero, as both a single and double. The front opens to present the bottle or bottles. The double variant comes with two neck holders and is perfect for presenting a red and white. This option would be ideal to offer as a gift, during an event.

Sweet Nibbles:

We’ve all been there, perhaps we had a little too much to drink or perhaps the fuel reserves are running a little low, after celebrating a $1.20 favourite storming home. You’re in need of something sweet but it can’t tip the scales.

Macaroons, cupcakes, mini pavlovas and pastries come to mind. Barama have a comprehensive range of food packaging products, sourced mainly from Europe. Including:

Gourmet Food Packaging – Too often, the effort given to packaging, does not match that given to the food. It’s a delicate balance that can undo the hard work dedicated to your creation. Our range of Gourmet Food Packaging is sourced exclusively from Europe and can be used for a wide range of foods.

Transparent Packaging – Let’s face it, the food is the centre piece here. Our PVC Transparent range is diverse and completely food safe. Perfect for cupcakes, chocolates, macaroons and produce. Basically, whatever you need to show off!

Bonbonnieres – Serve a greater purpose than items left on wedding tables. They’re perfectly suited to smaller food items. Our entire Bonbonniere range is sourced from Italy. Be sure to explore the entire range online.

Picnic:

When the time comes for something with a bit more substance, a picnic or prepared food is the order of the day. Barama have an incredibly versatile hamper and produce range, available in a multitude of materials/fabrics and sizes.

Washable Paper – This intriguing material, has a similar look and feel to worn leather, yet is made from paper and is completely washable. Does what it says on the packet really! Available in a range of sacks and trays, they’re perfect for displaying gourmet food and produce.

Jute – Has been a stable of our range for some time now and for good reason. This is an incredibly versatile fabric can be dressed up or left to its rustic roots. We have plenty of jute options, from jam and chutney bags through to sacks and hamper trays. Be sure to explore the entire Jute range on our website.

Linen and Cotton – Our Linen and Cotton range covers similar ground to our jute offering, yet offers a more sophisticated nature. Mainly available in sack and tray configurations.

Cardboard – Our Cardboard range, is our most cost-effective option, yet don’t think that makes it the poor cousin. Tapered trays, boxes and hamper trays are perfect for serving and displaying food.

Know your Flowers.

Being Spring, it’s no real surprise that flowers play an integral role in The Spring Racing Carnival and it pays to know them. That includes you gents. Each key race day has a specific flower, which takes pride and place at the track and on the lapels of those gents, who actually know what is going on.

These flowers and their distinct colours, offer a classy vehicle for ensuring that your event is on theme and matches the race day. For example, anything other than yellow on Melbourne Cup Day is a significant faux pas and if you dare include a colour on Derby Day, it best be blue.

Below is a quick overview to each Race Day’s Flower. Use the links to find Barama products, which match each day’s theme:

Caulfield Guineas Day – 14th of October – Lavender

Blue Sapphire States Day – 18th of October – Dutch Blue Iris

Caulfield Cup Day – 21st of October – White Rose

Cox Plate Day – 28th of October – Cecil Brunner Rose

Victoria Derby Day – 4th of November – Blue Cornflower

Melbourne Cup Day – 7th of November – Yellow Rose

Oaks Day – 9th of November – Pink Rose

Stakes Day – 11th of November – Red Rose

Well the bookies are paying out, so you’d best go and collect your winnings. Watch this space for tips on Christmas wrapping and packaging.

Cheers!

Ending spring carnival with delayed bang was risk worth taking: MRC

Ending spring carnival with delayed bang was risk worth taking: MRC

The rescheduling of the Zipping Classic to the end of November was “a risk worth taking”, according to the Melbourne Racing Club, as it attempts to attract interest in racing during a quiet spot on Victoria’s busy sporting calendar. Having had their provocative suggestion to run the Caulfield Cup at the end of November last year rebuffed by Racing Victoria, the two parties agreed to run the…

Irony is a horseless launch of a horseracing carnival but do you reckon the frockedup and slicksuited VIPs milling on QT's rooftop tonight give a toss about irony? The BMW Caulfield Cup carnival's kick off party was a sparkler fueled by samplers from EZARD restaurant (popping up in the Heath Enclosure), the David Jones Fashion Stable (headed by the lovely Nadia Bartel), Moët & Chandon (rivers of the stuff and a planned vintage gold horse carousel at the track), Tommy Collins catering, the E.P & L.P Deck (with "cocktail flame throwers" - what? - and DJ Grant Smillie heading trackside) and the Westfield Style Stakes photography studios. Now, if the millennials - bless their Thurleys Mimcos and crownlets - can just pop some knickers on under their froclets, keep their dignity and shoes on past 4pm, and hold their liquor with a modicum of youthful dignity, it should be a memorably noice string of racedays, starting Saturday. #itsjustnotracing #breakwithconvention #bmw #BMWCaulfieldCup #catanachstakes #CaulfielGuinaes #springracingcarnival #davidjones #melbourneracingclub (at Rooftop at QT)

Virgin’s AFL Grand Final get together kicks off the social foolish season

Virgin Australia’s annual Grand Final get together has turn into an anticipated pre-match bash.  

Guess which Melbourne VIP get together will function these eye-popping parts this week? Invitees will step into an “Urban Utopia” that includes a mock Hong Kong grocery store the place they will order an alcoholic slushie or get their future informed in a subversive fortune cookie sales space.

Does this sound just like the Virgin Australia AFL Grand Final Party to you? Footy-heads, one of the best AFL get together on the town is not what you anticipated it to be.

There’s a brand new buzz phrase within the model biz: ‘Brand Reinvention’. Surely, social media has heralded the last decade of the model. People – human beings, and not using a firm – discuss “being on brand,” which is definitely simply one other means of claiming they wish to be true to themselves, however on Instagram.

Brand Ambassador is 1 essentially the most coveted jobs you’ll be able to have. And today, manufacturers aren’t scared of adjusting issues up within the identify of reinvention – it is what they need to do with a view to evolve.

Innovate, invigorate

For Inese Kingsmill from Virgin Australia, the evolution of their AFL Grand Final get together makes good sense. She’s conscious that “brands can’t stand still. We need to make sure we’re constantly innovating.”

Virgin is not the one established model shaking factor up. 

When the Victoria Racing Club unveiled their newest marketing campaign on the Myer Spring Racing Lunch this month, it was met with gasps of shock: as a substitute of watching fairly fillies (of each feminine and horse selection) on the display, the video opened with skateboarder Adam driving by a prepare station, telling his associates, “Yeah, I’m in.”

He’s adopted by the bearded (and gray) dandy Marek nodding his head, and a mixture of younger and outdated chiming their affirmative RSVPs to the Melbourne Cup Carnival. It’s not speculated to enchantment to the staid members of outdated; it is about shifting ahead.

Tradition will get turned

“I think we have this wonderful luxury in racing of great traditions, but if that’s all we are, we become a little bit stale,” says Victoria Racing Club’s Executive General Manager, Caroline Ralphsmith.

“For the last few years, we’ve tried to play up the fun side of what we offer, and this year we are dialling it up further, making sure the younger audience sees us as something that’s happening for them. Our main message is that the Melbourne Cup Carnival is for everyone – if you’re in Melbourne you should absolutely be going, because people from Japan want to be there.”

Still, certainly a skateboard will alienate some?

“I’ve been doing this for too many years; you’re prepared for someone to hate it. Sometimes you take risks and it doesn’t pay off, but you have to take risks or you will be the same forever and ever, and that is not a recipe for success.”

Big manufacturers are consistently reinventing themselves, as seen within the new Melbourne Cup marketing campaign.  Photo: Supplied

Unexpected experiences

MRC’s Chief Commercial Officer Peta Webster is nearly the poster girl for model reinvention: when she got here into her place lower than 2 years in the past, she reinvented Caulfield’s Fashions on the Field by turning it into a contest that is judged through photographs taken on the Westfield Style Stakes custom-made studios on the entrance garden.

This 12 months, she’s happy with MRC’s collaboration with Los Angeles scorching spot E.P. & L.P. Rooftop Bar and Restaurant, whose pop-up can be within the Heath Enclosure at Caulfield.

“We wanted to get the message across that Caulfield isn’t the usual, expected experience,” says Webster.

“But we still thought we can’t go too far; we have to be respectful to our loyal membership.”

For her, reinvention is a part of the job description: “It’s about always improving, and never saying that something is good enough.”

The sharing economic system

Bruce Keebaugh’s The Big Group is occasion producing the Virgin Australia AFL Grand Final Party, and he says that “we know that parties aren’t just parties – they’re really marketing activations. We have to understand what their brand is in our approach.”

These days, when a model reinvents itself, social media performs an enormous half in getting the brand new message throughout.

“The sharing feed is terribly important,” says Keebaugh.

“This is a party that’s destined for guest interaction at the event and also outside of the event. We have 500 people there, but the reach could he hundreds and thousands and even millions if we get it right, if we get the ‘shareability’ correct. Social media has had an impact on the way we create these experiences, so there are amazing backdrops and quirky things that are also brand appropriate.”

Covet issue

But whereas social media “likes” can partly decide the extent to which model evolution is profitable, Virgin Australia’s advertising and marketing specialist Tess Moroney prefers to make use of one other touchstone.

“Every year, this [AFL] party is bigger and better and a ticket to it becomes more coveted. A couple of years ago, Usain Bolt turned up completely unannounced – he managed to find out the information and he and his entourage turned up. To have this global superstar want to come to our party goes to show how awesome the event is.”

The Virgin Australia AFL Grand Final Party will happen tonight.

All Over Bosanova might get Magic Millions fillies and mares race opportunity

SMART mare All Over Bosanova will likely be given a belated probability to chase huge cash within the $1 million Magic Millions fillies and mares race on the Gold Coast subsequent month.

She resumed with a second to Pinch River within the Listed Bribie Handicap (1050m) at Doomben on Saturday.

WINX COX PLATE: HOW THE CHAMP WON IT

SURGERY: McEVOY SIDELINED AFTER WRIST INJURY

It adopted a formidable trial win three weeks earlier.

Trainer Mel Eggleston was proud of the run and intends to carry the mare again to the monitor on Saturday week.

He had meant to provide All Over Bosanova solely two runs this summer time however was having second ideas.

“There is a fillies and mares race at Doomben on Saturday week which carries a wildcard for entry to the Magic Millions (on January 13),” Eggelston mentioned.

“Should she win the Doomben race we’d have to consider the Millions. After all, it’s huge cash.

“All Over Bosanova is looking for 1200m now and those races should suit.”

Eggleston can also be contemplating taking All Over Bosanova to Sydney throughout the autumn carnival.

“There are some nice fillies and mares races there which would also be right up her alley, but we will wait until after her summer races to make a decision,” he mentioned. “The winter is also a major option.”

Meanwhile, Brisbane Racing Club officers will chase the minor placegetters from Saturday’s Group 2 Villiers at Randwick in an effort to spice up the sphere for the $300,000 Listed Bernborough Handicap.

CAULFIELD WRAP: COLT MAKES STATEMENT ON DEBUT

VILLIERS STAKES: COLLETT BIDES HIS TIME

The Bernborough (1600m) at Doomben on December 30 is already the richest Listed race in Australia and carries two main bonus funds.

The first is a $100,000 bonus for any horse that may win the Villiers (1600m) and the Bernborough. The different is a $50,000 bonus for any horse minor-placed within the Villiers that wins the Bernborough.

BRC racing supervisor Matt Rudolph will go to Sydney this week hoping to safe a number of prime horses for the December 30 assembly.

Brisbane’s Crack Me Up gained the Villiers, however coach Liam Birchley indicated he might run within the Magic Millions Cup on January 13.

“The minor placegetters, Cabeza De Vaca and Interlocuter, would also be big drawcards,” Rudolph mentioned.

“Interlocuter is a Godolphin horse and they are sending a team here.”

Railway Stakes 2017; Sovereign Nation on right track for Group 1 mile; Tom Dabernig

Railway Stakes 2017; Sovereign Nation on right track for Group 1 mile; Tom Dabernig

#Ashes #ChampionsLeague

TRAINER Tom Dabernig says Sovereign Nation is capable of pulling off a win in a feature mile and he’s hoping it will be in today’s $1 million Railway Stakes at Ascot.

Dabernig said Sovereign Nation had contested the spring carnival’s two top 1600m races and run well.

He finished second to Santa Ana Lane in the Toorak Handicap at Caulfield and seventh to Shillelagh in the Kennedy Mile at Flemington. “That’s where we think he’s at — a horse who can win one of these big mile races,” Dabernig said.

ANALYSIS: RAILWAY STAKES

WEEKEND BEST BETS

THE EARLY OIL: BALLARAT

The stable has placed winkers on Sovereign Nation after he was slow to begin at his past two starts. Dabernig said Sovereign Nation, a $14 Railway chance with TAB, had settled in well in Perth. Last year’s winner Scales Of Justice is $6 equal favourite with Chris Waller’s Tom Melbourne.

Sovereign Nation has drawn barrier 15 and will be ridden by Chris Parnham.

Co-trainer David Hayes is in Japan with Boom Time, hoping to win a second Japan Cup to follow Better Loosen Up’s 1990 triumph.

Better Loosen Up was the stable’s most recent Railway Stakes winner, in 1989.

Dabernig will be at Ballarat today, saddling up the stable’s old warrior, 11-year-old Extra Zero, who will be having his 108th start but his first at that track.

He said retiring Extra Zero was always in the conversation but the horse would decide when that happened.

“He’s fit and well and he’s still running well,” he said. “His last-start effort in the Kyneton Cup with his big weight was excellent. When he puts in a bad one or hurts himself, then that will happen, but he couldn’t be healthier.”

Extra Zero is a $17 chance with TAB for the Ballarat Cup.

Darren Weir’s impressive Australian debut winner at Flemington, Mr Garcia, is the $3.10 favourite.
