Hardwick Defends Suns Staffer Amid AFL Betting Probe The recent investigation into Gold Coast Suns team manager Mark Opie's links with bookmaker Okebet has raised eyebrows, but not necessarily alarm bells.
Despite being under scrutiny from the AFL integrity unit, Opie will continue to perform his match day duties.
Opie's connection to Okebet is significant because of a 2024 fine levied by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) for inducing members and supporters of local sporting clubs to open betting accounts.
