Game On for Online Pokies Australia

Online Pokies Australia

The federal government in Australia could be planning to take a punt on online gambling, considering moves to legalise local “in play” and casino style Australian websites that feature pokie machines. Up until now Online Pokies Australia providers have been unable to provide pokie machines online, however Australians are free to play at overseas casinos online.  Many insiders are worried about the lack of regulation in online gambling and believe that opening it up to regulated Australian providers may create a safer environment when playing pokies online, poker and other betting markets.

The commission who conducted a in depth study recommended in 2010 that online poker should be allowed to be provided in Australia with strict probity standards and tough harm minimization standards.  However with pressure from independents, the current Australian government has been unwilling to support the liberalisation of online gaming.  Given that Australians are currently free to enjoy the many overseas pokies online providers it will only be a metter of time before Australian companies are gained licenses to provide the same in a more regulated environment.  It is estimated Australians are currently spending over $1 billion annually in online gambling at offshore casinos.

Any change of government to the liberal party in Australia and we may see a more liberalized approach to dealing with online betting which would pave the way for more choice and regulation for the sector.
