RWA cites 36% offshore share in Australian online gambling research
Research commissioned by Responsible Wagering Australia found that unlicensed offshore operators account for 36% of online gambling in Australia. The research estimates annual losses to illegal sites at A$3.9 billion, rising to A$5.0 billion by 2029, and recommends measures including a national blacklist platform and payment restrictions.
The offshore share and proposed blacklist and payment restrictions could shape licensed operators’ competition and enforcement policy.
