Palmerbet's history and court-cases it's been in, should have a section in the main page.

Needless to have to say, a politician with influence in a betting-agency WHEN betting on elections is something that-that betting-agency allows, has active, betting-markets in, could partly-affect the odds-of a particular result, election-by-election, year-by-year, in the wider averages of-those-odds, and so in effect 'ATTRACT' people to a RESULT, in that election - i.e. when possible (deliberate) odds-manipulation could in-directly incentivize people to vote in a particular way, in order to increase their chances of winning a bet, as unlikely as that might sound.

That risk was recognized instantly, before scrutiny-into the company and things like how-transparent it's decision-making COULD-be, even if transparency was successfully-forced when it came to things like 1, appointments, or 2 their rationale as-to whether or not to allow betting on politics when they at-least might earn a reputation as being suspicious because of the potential for a conflict of interest.

The potential risk of that agency being able to affect election results remained, ( so it had been reasonable for them to-NOT allow specifically, betting on politics while still operating on all other betting-markets - a minor-sacrifice for integrity, in other words ) ... and he claimed a kind of freedom of businessman 'defiance', in claiming that the one he set up, should-not, have-to-not, have markets, supposedly losing a competitive-edge ... on politics specifically.
