australian legislation amendments! HELP ME

You can still play MG via VPN. Try TunnelBear it cost 50eur a year. You can try it for free with 500mb limit.

So is it ok for anyone who lives in a country that doesn't allow them to play certain games to use a VPN at VS to bypass that, or is it a special advice just for Australian customers?

It's getting really hard to know what we should advice players when it comes to regulations and rules these days

But surely if you've registered with an address in Australia you could face a huge problem when you come to cash-out...

Unless players have a LEGITIMATE address in a different country - I can only foresee problems for those trying to "cheat" the system

Its not illegal to have Australian players, however its not allowed to take bets from players that are present in Australia regardless if they are registered in UK or Australia or any other country. So you sign up as an Australian and you play when you are abroad or on a VPN

I'm sure you know what you're talking about, and it's great if VS always will pay those customers who are using a VPN to play.
The risk though with advicing people to use it is that they might do it at other places too, where they will deny them the win because of the use of a VPN. Maybe you should be a little more careful.
I advice all Australian players to first ask the casino if you're allowed to use a VPN. Otherwise, please don't!

I did advice to ask support before you do earlier in the discussion

If your bank rejects withdrawals and deposits with bank. You cant play of course. I would contact the support of the casino I play at to ask the above. You will for sure get problems with some and others not. One thing I know for sure, don't post publicly about casinos that allow you, because then you risk to have them close the market. Regulators read more than we think.

I believe many might close for new registrations and might still allow their old customers to play. However, we will see after the 11th September.

Another chance for Aussie online poker?

COULD ONLINE POKER BE BACK ON THE CARDS IN AUSTRALIA?

Supporter Sen. David Leyonhjelm says the federal government is mulling the exemption of online poker from recent bans.

Sen. David Leyonhjelm, one of the few Australian politicians to have consistently defended online gambling in general and online poker in particular, announced a new development in the federal government's approach Wednesday, claiming that Communications Minister Mitch Fifield is considering making it possible to licence online poker operators, thus exempting them from the current bans on all but sports betting that exist following the recent passage of the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act.

The senator claims that as a result of further lobbying, the government “has advised that it is ‘favourably disposed’ to reforms that would exempt online poker players from illegal offshore wagering laws.”

Leyonhjelm quoted from a letter from Fifield, advising that a team in the Communications Ministry has been tasked to “undertake some preliminary work examining the feasibility of Australian onshore providers obtaining licenses to operate online poker.”

Note the "onshore provider" qualification.

Fifield claims that he has the support of Human Services Minister Alan Tudge, who was the driving force behind the passage of the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act.

Sen. Leyonhjelm is also largely responsible for the inception of a Senate committee deliberating the pros and cons of online poker, which is due to submit its report and recommendations in October

I tried logging in to Videoslots about a month ago with my VPN set to UK and my account was blocked for 24 hours!

They are automaticly blocking everyone if they go abroad without speaking to them first. Maybe you should do that when you're out ''travelling''.
Also another country than uk maybe is smart to choose since they are not allowed to play all games either.

VS has made some changes regarding VPN policies for some countries. You should try again, or get in contact with Dan.

I didn't see Codeta on your list.

Are they still accepting Australian players?

They appear to be right at the top of the tree when it comes to "Live Dealer Online" games.

Thank you for the info...very disappointing.

I don't play slots...only Baccarat and Roulette...Do you know of any online casinos accepting Aussie players with a selection of Live Dealer Tables?


Failing that...it means that I will have to drag my lazy butt off to my local casino...2 hours each way...DAMMIT!: mad:

Thanks again for your help

Australian regulator asks New Jersey counterpart for help

REGULATORS UNITE!

New Jersey regulator warns licensees that Australia is now off limits.

Operators and technology and service providers will be mulling a communication this week from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement that warns recent legislative changes in Australia have re-classified that market as illegal in terms of online casino and poker activity...along with sports betting unless they have a valid Aussie licence.

Liaison between the Australian Communications and Media Authority and the DGE appears to have been the trigger for the New Jersey warning.

InfoPowa readers may recall that the DGE issued an advisory last year on the subject of its operator and service provider licensees operating in countries where gambling legislation is open to interpretation (so-called "grey" markets) cautioning them that such activity could have consequences for their New Jersey approvals.

The DGE subsequently came to an agreement with the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada which saw the KGC warn its licensees not to operate in New Jersey.

In his communication to the DGE, Australian Communications and Media Authority chief Richard Bean reportedly asked that the New Jersey regulator educate its licensees on the changes in Australia to ensure that they did not access Aussie online punters in contravention of local laws.

DGE chief David Rebuck apparently obliged by writing to the legal heads of New Jersey licensed online gambling companies to tell them about the Australian approach, noting that things have changed in Australia, which must now be regarded as a "black" or illegal market, and that “...continued operations in a black market will affect a company’s suitability for licensure in New Jersey.”

Rebuck went on to advise that failure to respect Australia's laws could result in the DGE imposing regulatory penalties on licensees including the revocation or refusal of licenses.

Rebuck's warning is applicable to both operators and service providers, and those who are still active in Australia (many companies have already departed that market) have been asked to explain their continued presence in Australia and what their future plans are regarding compliance with the new gambling laws.

the Australian government is so bloody greedy i was angry at the old gov for making a pack of smokes over $20 first up but i let that go dealt with it.

I've got a workaround for the smokes. I repatriated to the land of the Poms about seven years ago, and found the local tobacco products unsmoke-able, and unaffordable, so I taught myself the art of producing my own organic 'snout'. You can also cook it up into vaping liquid if you like (goes further that way)

PM me if you are interested, and I'll gladly give you a few pointers.
