In 2022, the Australian communications regulator ACMA decided to block ThePokies.Net casino, because they found out that the website was offering to their players online casino style games, which are banned in Australia.
ACMA also received multiple complaints from the players about thepokies.net casino, much more than about any other illegal gambling website. Apart from that, the ACMA chairman added that it happened regularly that the casino just decided to keep players money and the regulator was not able to help in such cases. That’s why ACMA said that the thepokies.net was one of the casinos that was bringing the most harm to Australian society.
In general ACMA wants to secure safe & legal gambling environment for Australians, therefore, it blocked other illegal casinos apart from the ThePokies Net – Azure Hand, Abo Casino, Betroom, 777Bay, Space Lilly, Jet Casino, Katsu Bet and Winz. So now users cannot access The Pokies.net.
