The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has announced new additions to its block list of unlicensed gambling websites, making them inaccessible in Australia.
As per the ACMA's announcement, internet service providers (ISPs) have been directed to block access to the following sites: Jackpoty, A Big Candy, and John Vegas Casino.
An investigation by the ACMA revealed that these websites violated the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and should not be available in the Australian market.
Since it began restricting access to illegal gambling websites in November 2019, the ACMA has blocked a total of 995 unlicensed and illegal gambling websites.
Additionally, approximately 220 unlicensed gambling businesses have withdrawn their products and services from the Australian market during this period.
