Trots punters will benefit after Harness Racing Victoria revamped its minimum bet liability policy, including introducing place betting liability limits.
From today, all approved off-course Australian wagering service providers will have a broader range of requirements when offering Victorian harness racing markets.
Having previously been required to stand to lose $1000 on Victorian metropolitan meetings win bets and $500 on Victorian country meetings win bets, the policy has been beefed up to include further requirements for wagering service providers.
They are:
- $2000 win and $800 place minimum bet limits for all Group 1 races
- $1000 win and $400 place minimum bet limits for metropolitan races
- $500 wins and $200 place minimum bet limits for non-metropolitan races
Harness Racing Victoria Chief Commercial Officer Glenn Lee said HRV wanted to ensure punters were given “a fair go”.
“These changes create a more even playing field for punters, bringing Victoria into alignment with other jurisdictions and giving punters more reason to engage with our racing,” Lee said.
