The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 names one federal regulator, the ACMA, and its section 15 offence is worded around whoever provides the service. State Acts carry offences of their own, and Queensland's reaches a player who takes part knowingly. The sentences are below, as the registers print them.
What the Act says
Section 4: what the Act means by ACMA
ACMA means the Australian Communications and Media Authority. ACMA official has the same meaning as in the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005.

What the 10 sites on this site name instead
None of the 10 sites covered here names an Australian licence in its terms. 6 name a regulator of some kind, 4 bring none into our table, and none of the regulators in this table is the ACMA:
| Regulator named in the terms | Sites |
|---|---|
| Curacao Gaming Authority | LuckyOnes, RollXO and 7Bit |
| Tobique Gaming Commission | Boho and Winz |
| Curacao Gaming Control Board | CrownSlots |
What this does not settle
The Act names the regulator and the offence. It does not say which sites the ACMA has acted against, and this page does not list any: an enforcement list changes between our pull and the day you read it.
Licence status in Australia
None of the sites on this page about the regulator names an Australian licence; each is an offshore operator as far as Australian law is concerned. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and the ACMA's powers under it are quoted on our law page. Amounts are quoted as each operator prints them; nothing is converted to A$.
