The Australian Media and Communications Authority (ACMA) is taking action against unlawful wagering platforms operating within the nation. They have directed internet service providers to restrict access to 18 overseas platforms following multiple grievances. These platforms, featuring names such as Syndicate Casino and iLucki, are in clear breach of Australian regulations. The ACMA is advising Australians to remove any funds they have on these platforms promptly.
This represents the most recent action by the ACMA, which has been striving to shut down illicit gambling enterprises since 2017. Since that time, over 100 unlawful operators have exited the Australian market, and more than 200 websites have been blocked. The ACMA aims to safeguard Australians from the risks of illegal wagering by obstructing access to these platforms.
During the month of November, the Australian regulatory body responsible for communications and media, the ACMA, issued a reminder to gambling entities within the country. This reminder emphasized the critical nature of adhering to established advertising regulations. This action was deemed necessary due to uncertainties that had arisen regarding the proper implementation of these regulations. Currently, the ACMA is seeking the authority to restrict access to international gambling websites operating outside legal boundaries.
