ACMA orders ISPs to block six illegal gambling websites in Australia

Enforcement & compliance

Australia’s ACMA instructed internet service providers to block six online gambling websites after investigations found they breached the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The authority named Play Jonny, ACO96, TCL99, Waboom77, Wonaco and WooSpin; it said 1,708 gambling and affiliate websites had been blocked since November 2019.

The order removes six sites from access in Australia and reinforces the compliance risk for operators targeting the market without authorisation.
