Internet service providers in Australia have received directives to restrict access to a wider range of online gambling and affiliate marketing sites. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the regulatory body overseeing this action, found these sites to be non-compliant with Australian regulations. This measure forms a component of a broader strategy aimed at safeguarding Australians from illicit online gambling activities. Since the inception of this program, access to numerous websites has been blocked, while many others have opted to withdraw from the Australian market voluntarily. Consumers should be aware that even websites with a seemingly legitimate appearance may not be trustworthy, potentially leading to financial losses.
The Land Down Under has experienced a troubling rise in internet wagering, with more than one out of every ten Australians placing stakes in the past half-year alone. This represents an increase to 11% from 8% in 2020, illustrating a concerning trend of a country progressively captivated by digital betting platforms.
