ACMA blocked 8 more illegal offshore gambling websites

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has requested that Australian internet service providers (ISPs) block more illegal offshore gambling websites after investigations found eight services to be operating in breach of interactive gambling laws. 

Website blocking is one of a range of enforcement options to protect Australians against illegal online gambling. 

Since the ACMA made its first blocking request in November 2019, 975 illegal gambling and affiliate websites have been blocked. Over 220 illegal services have also pulled out of the Australian market since the ACMA started enforcing illegal offshore gambling rules.

The latest blocked websites include Jogi Casino, Dundee Slots, Lucky Hunter, Lucky Wins, Lukki Casino, Spin Fever, Clubhouse Casino and Winport Casino. 

The Australian Authority is reminding consumers that even if a service looks legitimate, its unlikely to have important consumer protections.
