He posits that it should not be categorized with casino games under gambling regulations.  The senator has proposed that, instead of prohibiting online poker, the Australian government should establish a framework for its oversight and ensure the collection of appropriate taxes. <\/p>\n<p>However, it appears his appeals were disregarded.  In response to recent legislation, numerous prominent online poker platforms, including PokerStars and 888poker, opted to withdraw from the Australian market entirely.  These companies have ceased accepting players residing in Australia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notwithstanding significant opposition from numerous Australian gamblers, a comprehensive prohibition on internet gambling has been approved by the Australian Senate.
