Online gambling was a prosperous grey market in Australia, but everything changed in 2017. The government amended the Interactive Gambling Act (IGA) of 2001 to give the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) powers to crack down on illegal online casinos. Oct 12, 2017 Ignition Casino is a relatively new online casino, established in 2016 for US players only and opening its doors to Australian players since July 2017. It is fully certified and regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Oct 14, 2020 Australian online gambling laws and policy have traditionally been the responsibility of the states, rather than the Commonwealth. State and territory governments regulate and provide gambling services and rely heavily on the ensuing revenue. Recent developments have seen the Commonwealth take a more active role in this area. Basically, the Australia online gambling license is given to bookmakers and betting houses that act in a certain region. If you need an online casino license, you will have to carefully examine the conditions made by each jurisdiction. A document that protects Australians from fraudulent online casinos was passed in 2001.
