Australian-licensed wagering services can offer permitted betting products; online casino games and pokies are prohibited services for people in Australia.
The same website may use words such as gaming, betting and casino interchangeably, but the law distinguishes product types. A licence for wagering does not authorise online casino tables or pokies.
Permitted wagering
Licensed providers may offer eligible sports and racing products under federal, state and territory rules, subject to restrictions.
Permitted wagering should be considered alongside legality, published terms and personal limits. A single favourable detail never cancels the wider risk or turns a random product into a predictable one.
Prohibited casino products
Online roulette, blackjack, poker and pokies cannot be offered to people in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act.
Prohibited casino products should be considered alongside legality, published terms and personal limits. A single favourable detail never cancels the wider risk or turns a random product into a predictable one.
BetStop scope
BetStop covers Australian-licensed online and phone wagering providers. Its presence is not a general casino licence.
BetStop scope should be considered alongside legality, published terms and personal limits. A single favourable detail never cancels the wider risk or turns a random product into a predictable one.
Verification
Use the ACMA register and identify the specific legal entity, domain and product before opening an account.
Verification should be considered alongside legality, published terms and personal limits. A single favourable detail never cancels the wider risk or turns a random product into a predictable one.
