The Australian Communications and Media Authority blocked access to six unlicensed iGaming domains. The domains were branded as Ninja Spins, Australian Casino Sites, Pokies Parlour, CasinoAus, AU Online Casino and Pokie Online.

ACMA may compel domestic Internet service providers to block Australians from gaining access to unlicensed online gambling domains.

ACMA has added six new illegal gambling sites to its list of banned enterprises. The regulator claims that in excess of 160 unlicensed iGaming services have abandoned the Australian market since it began enforcing new offshore gambling rules in 2017.

ACMA expands its iGaming ‘blacklist’. The Asia-Pacific igaming market is estimated to be worth up to $70 billion. Interest among Australian punters is thought to have surged after the government issued stay-at-home orders in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

ACMA has expanded its iGaming 'blacklist' and warned punters not to access unlicensed sites that do not offer 'important customer protections'.
