ACMA issues formal warnings over illegal online gambling operations
ACMA warns operators for providing unlicensed gambling services to Australians, stepping up enforcement of the Interactive Gambling Act.
Key points:
– Multiple companies offered unlicensed casino services
– Websites promoted prohibited gambling content to Australians
– ACMA reinforces commitment to consumer protection and regulation
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued formal warnings to multiple gambling operators for violating the Interactive Gambling Act, targeting companies that illegally provide casino services to Australian customers.
Australia Internet Pokies received warnings for operating the “Best Aussie Pokies” website, which serves as a gateway to prohibited gambling services. The company not only provides direct links and information to help Australian consumers access illegal gambling sites but also publishes prohibited advertisements featuring casino branding and promotional content specifically targeting Australian customers.
Several international operators were warned for providing casino services without proper Australian licences. Bamboo Media’s Ignition Casino service offered casino games and in-play betting to Australian customers, while Consolutetish S.R.L. operated both National Casino and Bizzo Casino services, providing casino-style games of chance and skill for money.
Dama N.V. received two separate warnings for operating RocketPlay and Level Up Casino services, both offering unlicensed betting services, including in-play betting to Australian customers. The company lacked the required state or territory licences to legally provide these services.
Good to know: ACMA has blocked several websites from unlicensed online gambling operators
The ACMA also targeted gaming-related gambling services, warning Gamusoft LP for operating CSGOFast and Moontain Ltd for running Skin.Club. Both platforms offered casino-style games of chance and skill for money, creating prohibited gambling opportunities for Australian players.
