New Online Illegal Gambling Sites Blocked

The ACMA has asked Australian internet service providers (ISPs) to block extra illegal online gambling sites after investigations showed these platforms broke the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

Currently, the new batch of blocked sites includes:

  • Casiny
  • CoinPoker
  • Crown Play
  • Fafabet9
  • SlotFred
  • Smart 93
  • Vigor Spin

To protect Australians from illegal online gambling, blocking websites is one enforcement method among several available options. Since ACMA first requested blocks in November 2019, a total of 1,251 illegal gambling and affiliate websites have been blocked.

ACMA Cracks Down on Illegal Online Gambling, Urges Australians to Verify Licensed Operators

Around 220 illegal services have exited the Australian market since ACMA started applying stricter illegal online gambling regulations in 2017. ACMA wants everyone to remember that even if a gambling site looks safe, it probably does not give important customer protections.

Australians who use illegal gambling services face a risk of losing their money. There is a register where you can check if a wagering service holds a license to operate lawfully within Australia. You can find more details about online gambling, tips to avoid illegal operators, and steps for making a complaint about illegal sites on the ACMA’s official website.
