Gambling companies use bonus bets to reel punters in. A Queensland law means they'll no longer be tax free.

abc.net.au/news/qld-law-gambling-companies-deducting-free-bets-tax/101716820You've seen the offers from bookies promising to "double your deposit" or refund your bet "if your horse runs second".

But, as a consequence, gambling companies have threatened to slash odds, remove Queensland races from their home screens or cut back betting incentives in the state.A free bet – aka "bonus bet" or "credit" – is the extra $100 you get under those 'deposit a $100, play with $200 offers", or the $50 bet you "got back" because your horse finished second.

Simply, that means: made-up money that can't be withdrawn from the app or used for anything except making a bet. Among other things, the laws change the calculation of taxable wagering revenue; currently that's the money the company receives in bets minus the amount it pays out.
