Numerous online casinos are not allowed in Australia and thus offer playing illegally. Many casinos apply on TV their slots - this should now have an end!
A uniform regulation between law and reality seems to be in a long distance in Australia. Especially if you look at the TV advertising of numerous online casinos, which should not be able to offer your services in Australia. Nevertheless, there are more than a hundred providers for casino machines that can be played on the internet.
In recent years, numerous new platforms have been advertised via the TV and radio. Exactly this should now have an end. The media supervision of the countries has focused in a common letter to radio and TV channels and communicated that the advertising of online casinos is prohibited!
Consequences for TV channels that do not stick to the advertising ban
In the joint writing of the media supervision, it states that gambling offers in the television and radio radio is not allowed for the applicable legal situation and has already been detected several times. The letter closes with the request to observe the ban on future placements of advertising. This letter was sent to a total of 500 channels and is dated on the 25th of February.
One of the affected channels is Dmax. Here are online casinos with your offer. A spokeswoman of Dmax said to a request that one assumes that the offers and thus the advertising were legally.
The media supervision already realized that it will be administrative against channels, which do not consider the advertising ban.
Schleswig-Holstein offers licenses and playing
The gap between reality and the laws is represented by Schleswig-Holstein. As part of Australia, a promotional and game ban would have to be valid here. Unlike other federal states, but Schleswig-Holstein issues licenses for the gambling.
So casino providers could be called to a "special rule" by February, which allows them to be able to perceive the offer of an online casino in Schleswig-Holstein. However, since this special permit proclaimed by Schleswig-Holstein is extended in its own, here is the prohibition now.
More lucky licenses from Australia?
In addition to Schleswig-Holstein, which already informed the other federal states before the turn of the year that it would still like to offer online casinos, the Kiel Provincial Government also works on a new possibility that playing in casinos can be able to allow a license.
Thus, there is a cross-national solution in a long distance and is not conceivable in the future. But also the procedure from Schleswig-Holstein and Kiel will certainly meet against counterwind and also only be difficult to implement.
