Online lottery betting operator Lottoland is once again fighting for its right to operate in Australia, this time against its own gambling licensing body.  

On Tuesday, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that Lottoland was seeking an injunction against the government of Australia’s Northern Territory and its Minister for Racing over as-yet undisclosed changes to the NT’s Racing and Betting Act 1983.

Like most Australian online betting operators, Lottoland holds a license issued by the Northern Territory Racing Commission (NTRC). The NTRC reportedly informed Lottoland last December of proposed changes to Section 92 of the Act, which, among other things, allows the NTRC to “vary the licence of a sports bookmaker or the conditions to which it is subject or impose additional conditions on the licence.’

Neither Lottoland nor the NT government have publicly revealed precisely what changes the NTRC has proposed. ABC reported that government lawyers told the Supreme Court NT that the changes were in the public interest, but the government declined to clarify what that meant.
