In this SBC Leaders Podcast episode, Sue Schneider chats with Gerard Daffy, a veteran of Australia's sports betting and racing scene. Gerard shares his journey from training greyhounds at age 12 to pioneering innovations at Centrebet, Australia's first licensed sports bookmaker in the Northern Territory.
He discusses Centrebet’s shift to online betting in 1996, its global expansion, and trailblazing features like multilingual sites, 24/7 live betting, and inclusion of female traders. The conversation also covers key industry changes, from relaxed advertising laws to in-game betting growth and restrictions on bonuses. Now with TAB, Gerard offers expert commentary on betting trends and industry shifts.
