Wow no offence but you guys are clueless
Recently there have a number of changes to the Interactive Gambling Act in Australia whereby online Poker, BlackJack and Roulette have been banned. Live sports betting on the internet has been banned also so to place a live bet you have to call the bookmaker, which is a real pain in the arse.
I am curious though as to whether other online casino's will stop taking customers from Australia. The main poker websites have left Australia and it would be great to get clarification as to whether these recent changes will change things over here.
Does anyone have have the slightest clue about Australia because what has been posted so far is absolute garbage, people posting about law want to be careful that there advice is on the knocker if they are not lawyers. First of all nothing is changing, it's been the same for a very long time now.
No casino's are leaving for legal reasons as they are simply commiting a criminal offence for letting anyone in Australia gamble at their online casino.
This certainly does not stop these brazen operators as they are out of Australian jurisdiction and unable to be prosecuted, however they can rest assured the the Australian authorities know all about every stakeholder that is involved is illegally offering gambling to it's people.
Australian authrities have vowed to arrest and detain any of them if they ever are stupid enough to want to go for a holiday in the world best country they will get to see the sites of razor wire then promptly returned to jail or back home.

IT IS NOT AN OFFENCE FOR AUSTRALIANS TO PLAY THEIR GAMES HOWEVER.
