The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has requested internet service providers (ISPs) to block another four gambling websites that it said have been operating in the country illegally.
Bao Casino, Pokie Place, Reels of Joy and Ozwin Casino were all investigated by ACMA after it received numerous complaints about the four websites.
ACMA found each site to be in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and requested that ISPs block access in the country.
“Website blocking provides a valuable opportunity to alert the public to illegal gambling services through the messaging that appears when there is an attempt to access the site,” ACMA said.
