The latest blocks were announced on the ACMA website where the authority stated:

“Website blocking provides a valuable opportunity to alert the public to illegal gambling services through the messaging that appears when there is an attempt to access the site.

ACMA is reminding consumers that even if a service looks legitimate, its unlikely to have important customer protections. This means Australians who use illegal gambling services risk losing their money.”

Since 2017, ACMA action against unlicensed gambling operators has seen over 130 websites pull out of the Australian market.
