ACMA investigates offshore betting promotions linked to Australian Open
Australia's ACMA said Vegastars was illegal and that it would request the site be blocked, while investigating other offshore operators' Australian Open promotions. The regulator also investigated an Instagram video promoting Rainbet and contacted Meta; the report reported that ACMA had blocked 220 illegal gambling services across 1,455 sites since November 2019.
The investigations and possible blocking affect offshore operators seeking to reach Australian betting customers.
