Mark is the second pair of eyes on most of our Melbourne Cup pages. He checks:
- Race facts against the official Victoria Racing Club and Racing Victoria releases.
- How betting rules are explained: all-in markets, scratchings, deductions and protests.
- How we describe consumer protections for Australian bettors, such as deposit limits, identity checks and the ban on credit card deposits.
- Our safer gambling information, so readers are pointed to the right free services, including BetStop and Gambling Help Online.
He reviews the facts only. Our tips, and which operators appear on the site, are decided by our editors.
