The Australian media watchdog, known as the ACMA, has recently taken steps against four more unlawful overseas wagering platforms, formally requesting that Australian internet providers restrict access to them.
These platforms, known as Bao Bo Entertainment City, Slot Machine Paradise, Happy Slots, and Aoying Entertainment City, were the focus of many grievances received by the ACMA. The grievances claimed breaches of the Interactive Gambling Act of 2001, which the ACMA’s inquiry validated.
This measure continues the ACMA’s persistent endeavors to combat unlawful overseas wagering, which commenced in earnest in 2017 with the enactment of new regulations. Since then, over 130 unlawful wagering enterprises have ceased providing their services within Australia. Since November 2019, when the ACMA initially began requesting the blocking of these sites, 263 unlawful wagering platforms have been blocked.
Although platform blocking is just one instrument at the ACMA’s disposal, it acts as a potent reminder to the populace about the perils of unlawful wagering enterprises. When an individual attempts to access a restricted site, they are greeted with a cautionary message from the ACMA, emphasizing the hazards involved.
