Australia.- The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has announced the suspension of four more unlicensed gambling sites, which have been added to its blacklist.

The offshore unlicensed gambling sites listed are Always Vegas, Gibson Casino, Malibu Club, and Viggoslots Casino.

According to the ACMA, the four unlicensed gambling sites violated the rules outlined in the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

After receiving complaints, ACMA has ordered internet service providers to block the gambling sites. It said it will continue to monitor them.

In March, the Australian authority asked Australian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block 10 unlicensed gaming sites.

Since November 2019, ACMA has blocked 263 websites and over 130 illegal services have been pulled out of the Australian market.
