Current list of allowed operators in Australia

1. Legal basis for permitted operators

In Australia, online gambling is regulated by the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and state and territory laws. Federal law prohibits the provision of most interactive casino services within the country, but allows the activities of companies licensed in certain jurisdictions and offering services within the law (for example, online sports betting, lotteries, poker in some cases).

Allowed operators are required to:
  • Have a valid license issued by one of the authorized Australian regulators (NT Racing Commission, ACT Gambling and Racing Commission, etc.).
  • Meet data protection and responsible play requirements.
  • Provide access to its financial and technical reports to regulatory authorities.

2. Major licensing authorities in Australia

The Northern Territory Racing Commission (NTRC) is the largest regulator, licensing many leading betting companies, including international brands.
Australian Capital Territory Gambling and Racing Commission - licenses operators operating in the ACT.
Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission - regulates licenses in Tasmania.
State and Territory Gaming Commissions are separate commissions for each region (for example, in Victoria and New South Wales).
