My question is, is it or is it not illegal for an Australian resident to promote online casinos to Australians?
yes it is illegal
The IGA (Interactive Gambling Act) makes it an offence to publish or broadcast in Australia an advertisement for an interactive gambling service. The prohibition extends to all forms of media, both electronic and non-electronic, including advertising via the Internet, broadcast services, print media, billboards and hoardings, subject to certain exceptions.
These exceptions include political communication, incidental or accidental advertising, products or services having the same name as an interactive gambling service or anti-gambling advertisements.
A number of gambling services are excluded from the definition of an ‘interactive gambling service’ – for example excluded wagering and excluded lottery services. The advertising ban does not apply to such excluded services.
The prohibition does not extend to advertisements published in overseas media, such as magazines that are published overseas, or websites that are aimed at non-Australian audiences.
