摘要
The emergence of wagering sites taking bets in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin could lead tosignificant change in the way match-fixers operate. Internet gambling has already put fixing into overdrive. Now, with cryptocurrencies, fixers have a payment mechanism which offers them significantly more anonymity. This poses a new set of challenges not just for law enforcement authorities but also for lawmakers. This essay analyses the appropriateness of Australia's legislation on match-fixing in an environment of crypto-wagering', and identifies several loopholes which could be exploited by fixers at the cutting edge of gambling and financial technology.
