ACMA Requests ISPs to Block More Illegal Gambling Websites
Reading Time: < 1 minute
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has requested that Australian internet service providers (ISPs) block more illegal offshore gambling websites.
The sites include Bao Casino, Pokie Place, Reels of Joy and Ozwin Casino. Following numerous complaints about these services, the ACMA undertook investigations which found them to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.
Website blocking is one of a range of enforcement options to protect Australians against illegal online gambling. Since the ACMA made its first blocking request in November 2019, 263 illegal gambling websites have been blocked.
