your spot on about thepokies.net but you’ve missed the bigger picture here!! The real criminals are the government bureaucrats who created this mess in the first place. The Interactive Gambling Amendment Act 2017 was supposed to “protect” us but all it did was hand the market over to unregulated scammers operating from malta, curacao, and god knows where else. Before 2017 we had legitimate operators like PokerStars and 888Casino serving aussies with proper oversight. Now? We’re stuck with fly-by-night operations using fake ABNs and stolen software. I’ve lost count of how many mates have been burned by these offshore vultures offering “exclusive bonuses for australian players” its all BS! The worst part is ACMA sits on their hands while these sites pump millions into facebook ads targeting problem gamblers. They’ve got the resources to shut down a thousand unlicensed sites but instead they write strongly worded letters. Meanwhile real aussie punters are getting their bank details harvested and their winnings stolen. The whole system is broken and the politicians dont give a rats because the big lobby groups want it this way.
