The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) persistently targets online casino sites that it believes violate the law by providing unauthorized gambling content to Australian residents.
Australia continues to block online casinos in the country
Since its inception in November 2019, ACMA has blocked over 1,117 illegal gambling and affiliate websites, including game studios. Recently, they have added six new brands to this list: All these websites are accused of violating the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, resulting in Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocks, the strictest restrictions possible for a domain. While ISP blocks often come with unintended side effects, ACMA has worked closely with service providers to ensure that only the prohibited casinos and sportsbooks on its expanding list are affected, avoiding disruption to the general public. Details on why these companies were restricted are scarce, but ACMA typically enforces such penalties on casino sites that deliberately target Australian citizens with localized services like promotions and bonuses.
ACMA wants to promote awareness about illegal casino sites
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has urged players to remain cautious and avoid using unauthorized gambling services. ACMA has been actively targeting the gambling industry outside of Australia, with online casinos frequently among the offenders. Due to the prohibition of internet casino games in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, numerous offshore websites have attempted to fill this gap. In October, the regulator took action against several such operators.
