Australian soccer's governing body is taking a cut from bets placed on games at all levels in the country, from international blockbusters to amateur suburban club competitions.
This includes some games played by teenagers, with punters able to place detailed bets on who will be leading at half-time, who wins or whether there will be a draw.
Football Australia's secretive arrangement is just one of many similar deals struck between major international bookmakers and Australian sporting bodies, including the NRL, AFL and Cricket Australia.
