The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has today (July 17) shared a whole new list of illegal gambling websites which have now been blocked.
The latest report, released in June, featured seven websites, with the regulator stating that these services have been found to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.
This latest round includes five websites which are said to have been included in investigations and the same outcome has been found. These have been named as Best Aussie Pokies, winspirit.online, win-spirit.online, winspirit.team, and winspirit1.com.
In order to block the websites from being accessible to the wider public, the regulator has reached out to Australian internet service providers (ISPs) to have these taken down.
“Website blocking is one of a range of enforcement options to protect Australians against illegal online gambling,” the recently published press release says.
Using illegal gambling websites? You’re not protected.
These websites can take your money, block withdrawals, or vanish without a trace.
We’ve asked Australian internet providers to block more of them.
