Australia Communications and Media Authority orders blocking of illegal gambling sites

Earlier today, it was discovered that Pokies.bet, Pokiesman, Smart Pokies, and Casino Australia Online were all unlawfully targeting customers. The 2001 Interactive Gambling Act is broken by the four affiliate websites, which encourage illicit online gambling in Australia.

Products like in-play sports betting and online casinos and slots are prohibited by the Act.

According to reports that have surfaced in recent weeks, Australia's government is preparing to enforce tighter regulations on gambling advertising. It might lead to an outright ban on internet advertising, which would drive out even legitimate affiliates.
