Australian media and communications regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, has directed internet service providers to block access to another seven online gambling sites.

The sites, which are operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, are Crown Gold, Maxispin Casino, Rain.gg, Didibet, LuckyBet, Malina Casino, and Spins of Glory.

It follows a similar move by the regulator in July, when five illegal sites were blocked.

Website blocking is one of a range of enforcement options used in Australia to prevent Australians from using illegal online gambling sites.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority made its first blocking request in November 2019. Since then, 1,338 illegal gambling and affiliate websites have been blocked.
