GameArt no longer offer their services to Australia. Not sure about Grand Dragon.
Edit: Sorry, I don't think I have commented on the right games. I was thinking of Money Farm1,2

Gameart has been gone for a long time from Australia but there has been a company called Lucky which seems like it is Gameart just for diff regions the same way IG Tech is Pragmatic play for other regions.

Thanks to @LoopsterAU for jogging my rapidly failing memory. I was right (sort of) first time around. Money Farm (GameArt) = Farm Ville (Lucky), whereas Dragon King (GameArt) = Dragon King (Lucky).
I can still find at least two casinos offering Lucky - which ones can't you find the games at?

I've played at emu casino over the years, mostly losing of course. I managed to win a bit a few days ago, a few thousand, and thought I'd run into problems withdrawing because it seems something always goes wrong with these off shore sites. I was pleasantly surprised and they didn't give me the run around at all. only just saw the posts today about the tragedy of the young man taking his life after dealings with the casino. I think I may have got luckier than I even realised.

Only just discovered this thread. Gold stars to the OP for commencing it 
With the ACMA on the warpath, I'm not sure adding casinos who still accept AU players is a good idea. This thread is indexed by Google etc, and is also viewable by guests.
Maybe CM could give us a private forum to discuss these matters?

We already have one. Speak to @mina1929 for details.
When is the website blocking actually happening? Or has it happened already?
Blocking torrent sites didn't work very well - they only insisted the top 3 ISP's block them whereas the rest didn't have to. Maybe its the same for Casinos?
Emu is gone, from what I'm reading the ones that are known not to pay out Aussies will go.

Can you not access Emu? What error message are you receiving?
Also not sure what you mean by the bolded bit.
No casino should be offering any games to Australians. That said, I would have thought these rogue casinos would be the ones to stay as there is no redress for any Aussie in the case of non-payment, so there is little incentive for them to quit the market.

When emu was being closed the article said the government was targeting sites that were known not to pay out or screw Aussies over.

So it's starting to get serious then.
Soon we will be without any online casinos, as casinos can only operate with a licence, but there is no licencing authority in Australia to issue licences. That is the classic Catch-22 situation we are in.
What IP provider (at a guess, Telstra?) are you using, because so far I have not been affected by this.
Can you also post a link to the article re Emu? I would like to read it.

Emu is still around URL has just changed.
A lot of the others have also added proxy sites and emailed existing customers in case they try block them at the DNS level as well.
Its just a game of whack a mole, our stupid government will never learn. Just legalize it by issuing licenses and take your tax you want on it, problem gone, stop bending over for Packer and what he puts in your back pockets.

Found it, thanks. Googled ACMA blocking casinos, and found the following: Hope posting the links is OK, Mods?
