Online betting in Australia

The Interactive Gambling Act allows licensed wagering services but bans online casinos, in-play sports betting and unlicensed sports betting offered to people in Australia. The ACMA publishes the register of licensed interactive wagering providers, including the licence holder, URL and licensing authority.

Match the exact domain: illegal services sometimes imitate a licensed brand. A foreign licence or Australian-dollar balance is not enough. Parliament passed further reforms in August 2026 covering advertising, inducements and enforcement; most commence on 1 January 2027.

Payments and account checks

Credit cards and digital currency have been banned for wagering since June 2024. Use an account in your own name, expect identity checks and read the state or territory licence conditions.

  • Check the ACMA register before depositing.
  • Read bonus, market-settlement and withdrawal rules.
  • Protect passwords and one-time codes.
  • Never pay an extra tax or release fee to withdraw.

Complaints and BetStop

Report an unregistered service or prohibited product to the ACMA. Complaints about a licensed provider’s account handling generally go to its licensing authority after the operator’s process. Keep bet IDs, statements and terms.

BetStop excludes a person from all licensed online and phone wagering services in one step. The National Gambling Helpline is available at 1800 858 858, with online support through Gambling Help Online. Chasing losses, borrowing and hiding play are reasons to stop.
