The license number and link to the registry in the basement of the site are indicated.

Using SSL encryption and HTTPS.
Transparent withdrawal rules and conditions.
3) Signs of banned sites

Lockdown in Australia by ACMA prescription.
Promises of too high bonuses without real conditions.
There is no information about the owner and legal entity in the "About us" section.
Anonymous or suspicious payment methods.
Lack of tools to limit the game.
4) How to check the site for legality
1. Find the license number on the site.
2. Go to the official register of the relevant regulator.
3. Check license status (active or revoked).
4. Check the company name and domain against the license data.
5. Go to the ACMA website and make sure that the platform is not on the blocked list.
5) The role of ACMA in identifying banned sites
Monitors the market and identifies illegal platforms.
Adds them to the list for blocking by Internet providers.
Publishes a public register of blocked sites.
6) What to do if the site is in the "gray zone"
Check player reviews on independent resources.
Contact support and request license confirmation.
Avoid deposit until official confirmation of legality.
Conclusion:
A player choosing a prohibited platform risks:
- lose access to funds;
- face refusal to pay winnings;
- find themselves without legal protection;
- get blocked by ACMA.
- Permitted sites operate within the law and provide the player with security and protection of rights.
