The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued a formal warning to mixed martial arts fighter Jamie Mullarkey for breaches of Australia’s online gambling laws.

An ACMA investigation found that in 2025 Mr Mullarkey promoted an illegal offshore gambling service in sponsored posts on his Instagram account. Mr Mullarkey’s Instagram profile also referred to his sponsorship arrangements with the service, including a link to the gambling site and posts with promotional hashtags referring to the service.

Australian online gambling rules prohibit the promotion of illegal gambling services. This includes posts or live streams featuring illegal services, sharing links to those services or running promotional giveaways connected to illegal gambling services.

ACMA member Carolyn Lidgerwood said the enforcement action puts social media influencers and their agents on notice.

“Athletes and social media personalities with large online followings can have significant influence over their audiences and can encourage the use of illegal gambling services,” Ms Lidgerwood said.

“This is the first enforcement action we have taken against an influencer for breaching online gambling rules, and it should serve as a warning to others.

“In this case the ACMA issued a formal warning considering the specific circumstances of the matter. This included that Mr Mullarkey ended the sponsorship arrangement promptly, cooperated with the investigation and quickly removed the material. Mr Mullarkey also accepted responsibility for his conduct and expressed genuine remorse.

“However, all influencers need to be aware that promoting illegal online gambling sites is against the law and can result in significant penalties.”

Individuals who promote or publicise illegal online gambling services can face civil penalties of up to $59,400. Those who facilitate access to illegal gambling services, including by providing hyperlinks or directing users to those services, may face penalties of up to $2,475,000.

“The ACMA will use its full suite of regulatory tools, including these substantial civil penalties, where influencers promote or facilitate access to illegal gambling services,” Ms Lidgerwood said.

Feedback Sought on How Public Lotteries are Run in NSW

Liquor & Gaming NSW is seeking feedback from industry, stakeholders and the community on how public lotteries are run in NSW.

The Public Lotteries Regulation 2016 is due to expire on 1 September 2026 and Liquor & Gaming NSW intends to renew the regulation to support the legislative framework for lottery regulation, while ensuring it remains fit for purpose.

Public consultation is a key part of the process and the draft Public Lotteries Regulation 2026 and Regulatory Impact Statement will be open for consultation until Friday 10 July.

It is proposed that the regulation will retain most of the existing provisions with some minor amendments to modernise the regulatory framework, remove outdated provisions and improve clarity, consistency and effectiveness.

Before the draft regulation can be remade, legislation requires a formal process of review be undertaken, which includes consultation with the public, interest groups and industry or businesses likely to be affected by the draft regulation.

It’s important for public lotteries to be conducted properly and in line with community interests and expectations, with appropriate harm minimisation measures.

The regulation supports the legislation by setting the standards around the conduct of public lotteries and puts in place consumer protections for people who buy lottery tickets.
