Aussie web surfers attempting to visit a slew of illicit wagering platforms will encounter a prominent “inaccessible” notification. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) incorporated these dubious domains into their prohibited list for violating regulations – seems someone wasn’t keen on adhering to the 2001 Interactive Gambling Act.
This isn’t the initial clampdown on unauthorized gambling portals either. Since 2019, over four hundred websites have received the ban, and even more have fled Australia since stricter regulations took effect in 2017.
The ACMA is truly emphasizing the message: exercise caution online! Simply because a gambling site appears sophisticated doesn’t guarantee its legitimacy. Utilizing these unlawful sites could result in bidding farewell to your hard-earned funds, and nobody desires that outcome.
Rumors are circulating that over one-tenth of Australians have dabbled in internet wagering within the last half-year. This represents an increase to 11%, climbing from 8% previously in 2020.
