ACMA warns influencers that promoting illegal gambling can lead to penalties

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is putting social media influencers on notice, warning them that promoting illegal gambling services to Australians is against the law, and it could cost them big.

According to the regulator, there’s been a noticeable uptick in influencers pushing unlicensed online casinos and gambling content on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Whether influencers are doing it intentionally or not, if they are endorsing or making money from these services, they could be breaking the law.

Influencers, take note: Promoting illegal online casinos in Australia is against the law. The ACMA is monitoring this activity closely.
