Online casino gambling (iGaming) is illegal in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Only sports betting and lotteries are permitted online through licensed operators.
The Act prohibits offshore operators from offering casino games, poker, and in-play sports betting to Australian residents. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) enforces these restrictions through ISP blocking and penalties.
Land-based casinos operate under state licenses, while online sports betting is licensed primarily through the Northern Territory. A parliamentary inquiry has recommended phased advertising bans and restrictions on gambling inducements.
