ACMA to Block 10 More Illegal Gambling Websites

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is set to request Australian internet service providers (ISPs) to block ten more illegal offshore gambling websites.

The sites that will be blocked are Play Croco, Aussie Play, Golden Reels, All Spins Win, Bonza Spins, Pokie Spins, Golden Pokies, House of Pokies, Pokie Mate and PokieZ.

Following numerous complaints about these services, the ACMA undertook investigations which found them to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

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, 238 illegal gambling websites have been blocked.
