Verify the Licence Claim, Not the Badge

A regulator logo can be copied, expired or valid for a different entity and product. Australian-facing availability, AUD display and an overseas licence are not equivalent to permission to provide an online casino service in Australia.

The decision workflow

  1. Name the exact service

    Separate online casino games, wagering, lottery and physical venue products before searching a register.

  2. Resolve the contracting entity

    Match the company in current account terms to the name shown in the claimed regulator record.

  3. Verify number and status

    Use the regulator or official register directly, checking licence number, status, domain and authorised product scope.

  4. Apply Australian rules

    Use ACMA’s current Interactive Gambling Act guidance and licensed interactive wagering register; do not translate an offshore licence into ACMA approval.

  5. Save a dated result

    Record exact hostname, sources and date. A no-match result is not proof of illegality by itself, and a match is limited to its stated scope.

Offshore regulation and Australian permission are different questions

Online casino-style services are treated differently from licensed wagering products under Australian rules. This page is an information workflow, not personal legal advice; use official ACMA guidance for current service status.

Do not assume so. Check the service under current Australian rules.

Is an AUD cashier proof of Australian licensing?
