UK-based online gaming operator bet365 has been accused of misleading punters by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

The ACCC has launched action against three bet365 companies in the Australian federal court accusing them of misleading customers into thinking they were entitled to up AUS$200 in bets without limitations or restrictions, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

In a statement, the ACCC said that as a result of the offer conditions “a consumer who made an initial deposit of AUS$200 and received AUS$200 in bets was required to then gamble AUS$1200 before being able to withdraw any money.”

Bet365, which entered the Australian market early last year, has since changed the advertising content on its website.
