Australia’s online casino rule

The legal baseline for online casinos, in-play betting and unlicensed wagering services offered in Australia.

Direct answer

The Interactive Gambling Act makes it illegal for providers to offer certain services to people in Australia. Banned services include online casinos, in-play sports betting and wagering services without an Australian licence.

What this does not prove

A provider name, overseas licence or unblocked domain does not establish Australian authority for an online casino. An entry on the licensed wagering register applies to that regulated wagering service and cannot be stretched to a prohibited product.
