A gambling website illegally soliciting bets on sporting clashes between Victoria’s most elite private schools has been reported to state and federal authorities.
The Associated Public Schools (APS) group of 11 upmarket schools says it has called in the state’s gaming authority and the federal communications watchdog to investigate the site apsbet.xyz
The site, hosted by a domain provider on Melbourne’s outskirts, offers to take bets on the outcome of sporting contests between APS schools, which include Geelong Grammar, Brighton Grammar, Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College.
A school source, not authorised to discuss the matter publicly, said apsbets.xyz’s hosting producer had been approached and asked to remove the site, as it appeared to be operating unlawfully and breaching the provider’s terms of service.
A spokesman for the Australian Communications and Media Authority confirmed it was made aware of the website and was taking appropriate action.
