The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has taken action against a new group of unauthorized offshore gambling websites. In an official statement on its website, the regulator announced that these eight sites were offering games of chance and sports betting to Australian players without the required licenses.
More websites found in breach of IGA 2001
To clarify, Australia regulates online sports betting but prohibits all forms of online casinos. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) identified eight websites that violated the country's Interactive Gambling Act of 2001 and has requested that Internet Service Providers block them. Since beginning this enforcement initiative in 2019, ACMA has been a persistent regulator, adding over 1,154 websites to its list. Approximately 200 services stopped operating in Australia before ISP blocks began, as ACMA warned overseas regulators about potential license issues in jurisdictions where online casinos are legal. Despite the lengthy process involved in blocking websites, ACMA remains committed to the effort. The latest bans serve as a reminder to players that they should not engage with offshore gambling services lacking the necessary licenses.
ACMA moves at a steady but somewhat slow clip
The regulator has advised the public to avoid unlicensed websites, emphasizing that even if a site seems to offer legitimate services, it might be designed to mimic licensed ones. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) remains committed to combating illegal gambling in the country, as highlighted in its recent Q4 enforcement and investigation report. Meanwhile, countries like Brazil are rapidly adding to their lists of illegal gambling sites, with thousands already banned in the country.
