The Australian media watchdog, ACMA, is taking action against unlawful wagering platforms aimed at Australian residents. They recently directed internet service providers to restrict entry to an additional 18 sites, increasing the overall count to 222 blocked since 2019.
These platforms were deemed to be violating Australian regulations, prompting numerous complaints to the ACMA. Among the identified websites were Syndicate Casino, iLucki, and King Billy Casino. The ACMA advises anyone utilizing these platforms to retrieve their funds promptly.
This represents just a segment of a broader initiative to combat illicit offshore betting, and it appears to be yielding results. The ACMA reports that over 100 unlawful operators have discontinued providing services to Australians since 2017. By restricting access to these platforms, the ACMA aims to safeguard Australians from harm and elevate awareness regarding the risks associated with illegal gambling.
The Australian media watchdog recently issued a reminder to telecommunications providers in the country regarding regulations on wagering promotions. It appears some companies were unclear on the specifics, prompting the regulator to provide clarification and request the removal of certain advertisements.
