The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has been vigorously shutting down unapproved gambling websites to guarantee compliance with the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Over the years, ACMA has banned over 1,500 domains, and the most recent raid added several more to the list.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"767\">In its most recent update, ACMA directed Australian internet service providers to restrict access to the following gambling websites:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"881\">\n<li data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"781\">JokaRoom<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"798\">AUDPokies888<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"812\">Aura Play<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"831\">Instant Casino<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"840\">Leon<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"854\">Rich Papa<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"865\">UUSpin<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"881\">Wild Pokies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"1112\">These platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/acma-orders-block-on-lucky-block-and-rooli-for-breaching-australian-gambling-laws\/\">violated Australian laws<\/a> by offering unlicensed gambling services.

However, ACMA has yet to see significant progress in reducing unregulated gambling activity affecting Australian consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is still legal in Australia, players may only wager through authorized operators. Many offshore gambling sites pose as trustworthy local companies in spite of stringent laws, making it challenging for customers to tell the difference between platforms that are approved and those that are not.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
