OK sorry for spamming….
Basically, the IGA (Interactive Gambling Act 2001) specifies that it is illegal to advertise in a way that someone physically in Australia can make a bet…but it doesn’t actually specify that its illegal for an Australian to make the bet, so I’m assuming this is why complaints are able to be made….and why there are a few companies based in Oz that do not allow Aussies to play…
a quicky from the site:
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (the IGA) makes it an offence to provide, or advertise, certain interactive gambling services. Information about the IGA, as well as information about the Commonwealth Government’s interactive gambling policy, is available from the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts.
I’d be interested to hear some other POVs…
This is definitely a good topic…
