Online Casinos

The state of the online casinos industry in Australia is in a bit of a flux to put it mildly. In the period before 2001, the Australian government had regulated all the activities of the online casinos. In April of that year however, the government introduced bill 1062 which effectively banned the operation of online casinos from within the country, as well as those originating from a few other countries. The bill was passed into law on July of that same year, putting an end to Internet gambling in

Many feel however that online casinos may be allowed to operate again sometime in the near future, given the somewhat fickle history of Australia’s legislation with regard to the operation of online casinos. In fact, due to certain legal loopholes, a few online casinos are actually in operation in certain island states of the country while still remaining within the boundaries of the law.
