The Australian media watchdog, ACMA, is taking strong measures against unlawful international gambling platforms. They just acted to restrict 14 additional websites, such as well-known ones like Golden Lady Casino and Spin Samurai, raising the cumulative number of banned sites to a substantial 375 since 2019.
The ACMA is dedicated to safeguarding Australians from these questionable websites, which frequently lack adequate customer safeguards and jeopardize people’s finances. They are collaborating with internet service providers to limit access and even issue cautions to users attempting to reach these sites.
This recent action follows closely on a formal caution given to Tabcorp, a prominent Australian gaming corporation, for providing unlawful in-play wagers on American collegiate basketball contests. The ACMA is undeniably conveying a message: illicit gambling will not be permitted in Australia.
The Land Down Under has initiated measures against a pair of internet lottery platforms, “WeLoveLottery” and “RedFoxLotto,” citing their provision of illicit gaming options to Australian citizens. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has directed service providers to restrict access to these domains, representing the initial implementation of such an action against foreign lottery entities focusing on the Australian populace.
