The ACMA has requested that Australian internet service providers (ISPs) block more illegal offshore gambling and affiliate marketing websites, after investigations found 11 services to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

The latest sites blocked include Greenspin, Slotman, Jeetcity, Betibet, Candyland Casino, New Vegas, Thunderpick, Golden Lion, Digits 7, Sector 777 and PayID Pokies.

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, 893 illegal gambling and affiliate websites have been blocked.

220 illegal services have also pulled out of the Australian market since the ACMA started enforcing new illegal offshore gambling rules in 2017.
