I made contact with Greg .
He has not been on social media for many months, so has not seen these posts. I asked him some direct questions, and can confirm the following:
He has nothing to do with Interbet. He has not bought Interbet. He is not buying Interbet. He was surprised by my question.
As far as any involvement with Vee, he was even more surprised. He says that rumour makes absolutely no sense, and was confused how something like this would even have arisen. His sole interaction with Vee is through normal NHA / racing operator interactions. There is zero relationship outside of that. Other than the NHA being responsible for investigating illegal betting, he couldn't understand how Vee's name could or would be connected with a betting exchange. His opinion was that this was a baseless rumour.
Greg is however constantly exploring ways to freshen up, strengthen, improve, innovate a failing industry.
I asked his thoughts on a betting exchange and he views it the same as looking at other revenue opportunities (e.g. looking at facilities at their racecourses such as Padel courts, restaurants, building residential homes, building kids entertainment areas.) He said he was constantly looking at new sources of revenue - primarily outside of betting, but some within the betting framework too. Anything he can to boost the profitability of the company (and hence racing).
Good Punting 👍
