Aussie Territory Wants Financial Ban On Online Gambling

New South Wales Select Committee into gambling adds an online gambling recommendation
A predominantly land gambling enquiry by a New South Wales provincial government Select Committee into the impact of gambling on the New South Wales public has added a suggestion regarding online gambling to its recommendations.
The committee wants the government to strengthen regulations designed to guard against problem gambling, particularly in the use of electronic gaming machines – better known colloquially in Australia as "pokies" – and makes 18 suggestions covering a range of issues from machine design and regional locations to jackpots and a review of maximum bet limits.
The sting in the tail of the recommendations references the federal Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and suggests that it be amended to stop Australian financial institutions from processing online gambling related transactions between Australians and offshore internet gambling operators.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
