Asma Will Start Blocking Illegal Sites

Australian communication and media management (asma) announced that illegal offshore gembling sites will be blocked throughout the state.

The regulator said it would investigate the activities of suspicious sites and, if the approprite actions can take, will give instructions to internet providers block them.

Paul fletcher, minister of communication and cybersecurity, made a statement that the new initiative will require from internet providers to receive requests from asma to block illegal sites.

Also fletcher clarified: despite the fact that asma has a number of powers to provide australians with protection against illegal services for gaming, including issuing official warnings, as well as obtaining orders for civil punishment, may arise difficulties with blocking sites that do not have legal grounds for maintaining of their activities.

Asma has released a manual for general rules and procedures to ensure transparency of methods that will eventually use their authority to block gambling websites with internet providers. The rules also include the consultation period before the site blocking will be performed.

Chairman asma nerida’listlin added that the ability to influence internet providers in the context of sites blocking is a a significant advantage in the asma arsenal to combat illegal gambling on the internet.

Also o’listly clarified that in most cases illegal sites refuse to pay the winners large amounts of winnings or pay only a minor part. Some clients faced the fact that unlicensed operators continued to make funds from a bank account without their consent. Players practically do not use the services of such sites. In the presence of personal funds on illlegal resources of funds, it is recommended to remove them from the account as soon as possible.
