FAQ
Is online sports-betting legal in Australia?
The Australian online gambling industry is thriving and is now worth an estimated AU$3.8 billon per year despite the fact that there are only three forms of online gambling allowed in the country. While the Australian legal code forbids unlicensed sportsbooks, there are still many legal and international gaming companies that allow Australians to access their platforms and place wagers online.
