ACMA asks ISPs to block more illegal gambling sites

The ACMA has requested that Australian internet service providers (ISPs) block more illegal online gambling sites, after investigations found these services to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The latest sites blocked include: Gday77, SpinBet, X4Bet. The latest blocking action coincides with the inaugural Illegal Gambling Awareness Week, an initiative of the International Association of Gambling Regulators to help consumers identify and avoid illegal or unlicensed online gambling services. The ACMA is reminding consumers that even if an illegal service looks legitimate, it’s unlikely to have important customer protections.
