The Australian Government is not guaranteeing a cent...Australian books are forced to keep customers funds in ringfenced accounts though.

And while is true that some UK bookmakers have gone belly up, or slow/no pay their customers, I doubt that a UK magistrate would license a convicted felon.

Can we say the same thing about Costa Rica or other Caribbean/Central America jurisdictions?
