Direct answer
Parliament passed reforms in August 2026. Most changes commence on 1 January 2027, with ACMA publishing implementation detail before commencement.
Decision signal
Check the effective provision and current guidance rather than relying on a headline.
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.
Recheck the source
Regulation and enforcement change. This briefing is dated so readers can see when it was reviewed. Use current official material for a live decision and qualified advice where personal legal consequences matter.
