To safeguard citizens from illicit wagering, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is taking strong action against websites violating regulations. They’ve instructed internet service providers to restrict access to numerous suspicious sites, which were offering services like internet-based casinos and gaming machines without authorization.
These unauthorized providers were attempting to deceive Australians into engaging with their platforms, despite lacking the necessary permissions. Some of the most egregious violators recently placed on the prohibited list include Jogi Casino, Dundee Slots, and Lucky Hunter.
The ACMA has been highly active in combating these entities since 2019, shutting down close to one thousand unlawful gambling websites and driving away over 220 dubious operators. They even intensified their efforts during the Women’s World Cup to shield individuals from being exploited. The ACMA is committed to halting illegal gambling and is diligently working to ensure the safety of Australians.
Numerous internet gaming firms doing business in Australia, such as Lucky Seven, Fifty Crowns, and Zota Bet, were discovered to be in violation of the 2001 Interactive Gambling Act. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) unearthed these infractions in March. This comes after cautions were given to other businesses like Crazy Entertainment (owned by LeoVegas), Paloma Media (which manages Thunderstruck), and Dama and Friolion (the proprietors of Betty Bet) for comparable transgressions of the same legislation.
