Australian Communications and Media Authority Blocks More Illegal Online Gambling Websites

Many Australians unknowingly access illegal gambling websites, often losing significant amounts of money. There have been instances where online providers have refused to honour deposits and winnings.

In Australia, online casinos, slot machines and betting services where the operator does not have an Australian gambling licence are not permitted. 

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has the power to direct internet service providers to block an illegal gambling website so that no one in Australia can use it. 

This disrupts operations and protects Australians from the potential harm of illegal gambling websites. 

ACMA has requested more illegal gambling websites be blocked after investigations found these services to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

The most recent sites to be blocked include: 

• Richard Casino
• Wanted Win

Clubs can make a complaint to the ACMA or access a full list of blocked sites here.
