Racing Victoria Chief Executive, Rob Hines, has welcomed the Victorian Government’s
announcement that invitations to apply for the Victorian wagering licence have been issued to a shortlist of three wagering service providers.

“We are delighted that the Government has attracted such a strong and competitive field to bid for the licence and we look forward to working with the successful applicant,” Hines said.

“The post-2012 wagering joint venture will be vitally important to securing a growing and
viable racing industry so we are keen to see the licence awarding process completed as soon as possible and give the industry certainty about its future partner.”
