The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it an offence to provide an online casino to anyone physically present in Australia (s15: 5,000 penalty units criminal, 7,500 civil, counted per day), and s14 together with Criminal Code category D jurisdiction reaches operators based offshore. There is no Australian online casino licence to hold — the register ACMA publishes is of licensed interactive wagering providers, every one of them licensed by a state or territory body — while advertising a prohibited service in Australia is a separate offence under Part 7A, and ACMA separately asks ISPs to block sites under s313 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 on grounds that include publishing such ads, which is why comparison and affiliate domains sit on the blocked list alongside the operators. Nobody is licensed to take your money here, so there is nothing to rank and no Australian regulator to take a refused withdrawal to.

Who licenses online casino in Australia
Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which enforces the ban rather than licensing anyone — the wagering licences that do exist are issued by state and territory bodies, not by ACMA
Not one of the 27 operators we track holds a licence from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which enforces the ban rather than licensing anyone — the wagering licences that do exist are issued by state and territory bodies, not by ACMA. We do not recommend an operator into a market that has not authorised it, so this page carries no links to any of them — and any comparison site that does rank them for you is ranking sites you are not licensed to use.
You can check any operator yourself against the regulator's public register before you deposit anywhere. If gambling is causing you harm, BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register is the route out.
