The ACMA has released its research programme for 2022-23. It will examine the take up and usage of social casinos in Australia and international regulatory approaches. Social casinos are free-to-play mobile apps which allow users to purchase virtual tokens. There are concerns that social casino games may serve as a gateway to real-money gambling for more casual players. MP Andrew Wilkie introduced an amendment to Australia’s 2001 Interactive Gambling Act in 2020 that sought to ban social Casino services.
