William Hill demands retraction from Australian newspaper

(PRESS RELEASE) -- William Hill Australia has demanded an immediate front-page retraction of the statements made on the front page of Thursday's Herald Sun newspaper.

William Hill is one of the largest and most respected wagering operators in the world and takes its good name and brand reputation extremely seriously. It is also the second time in three months the bookmaker has had to contact the Herald Sun's editor regarding their reporting of the matter.

"William Hill has received confirmation from the Australian Communications and Media Authority that they have not referred to the Australian Federal Police a complaint about William Hill's in-play service on Dec. 24, as referenced in the article," a spokesperson for William Hill said.

"We also note that no formal investigation has been undertaken by the Australian Federal Police, let alone any determination that the service is in breach of the law."
