The Australian media watchdog, ACMA, is taking action against unlawful international gambling platforms. They recently restricted access to an additional 14 sites, including well-known names like Golden Lady Casino and Spin Samurai.
According to the ACMA, these platforms violate Australian regulations and expose individuals to the danger of financial loss as they lack the safeguards present on authorized sites. They aim to emphasize to Australians that a polished and sophisticated gambling website doesn’t guarantee its legality or safety.
Since initiating the blocking of these websites, the ACMA has removed hundreds, while many others have voluntarily ceased operations to avoid repercussions.
Internet subscribers in Australia will no longer be able to visit the “E lotto” and “Red Fox Lotto” web-based lottery platforms. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) directed internet providers to restrict these websites after they were discovered providing entry to substantial, international lotteries – an activity that necessitates a permit in Australia, which these sites lacked. This marks the initial instance of the ACMA taking steps to prevent access to similar online lottery websites.
