Being reported on the RP site. It would appear that this deal was done in part in consideration of the BHA dropping its legal challenge to the exclusion of Betfair from the Levy.
Interestingly, though, both parties are calling for other betting operators to enter into similar agreements.
Presumably, other operators will only agree if the deal likely to be reached will be better than their anticipated contribution under the Levy?
Or is it just a case of the BHA hoping to divide and conquer?
