Pacat de boom-ul aparut dupa Joe Hachem. Cum va fi afectat Aussie Millions? Ce retarzi.
In shocking news today it has been announced that the Australian Government is enforcing law to ISP ban online gambling sites. This means that Australians will NOT be able to gamble online anymore. This has been done by the Australian Communications Authority (ACMA) who initially made the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (The IGA).
It can only be described as a desperate attempt by the Australian Labor Party to earn more revenue, this disastrous decision will be felt b y thousands of people across the country. No longer will Australian gamblers be able to log on and place a bet on sport, play at an online poker site or casino.
This law that is being enforced was originally made to protect Australians from paedophiles and sexually related, illegal material. Here are some of the issues that the ACMA was made to protect:
• depictions of child sexual abuse;
• depictions of bestiality;
• material containing excessive violence or sexual violence;
• material containing detailed instruction in crime, violence or drug use;
• real depictions of actual sexual activity;
• depictions of simulated sexual activity which are not subject to a restricted access system.
This law has subsequently placed Australian online gamblers in the same category as this filth. It is an outrage to say the least.
It has been reported that the ACMA has made a blacklist of potential ‘harmful’ sites. On this list surprisingly were only online poker sites. These included PokerStars, Full Tilt, Pacific Poker, BetFair and many more.
The exact nature of the GIA has never been fully understood because of the relaxed and broad nature of it. The rules were never enforced and there have been no real problems in being able to gamble online. What we can read though is what the ACMA says in its guidelines:
The IGA makes it an offence to provide, or advertise, certain interactive gambling services. ACMA is responsible for investigating formal complaints made under the IGA in relation to prohibited internet gambling content.
Prohibited internet gambling content is content that can be accessed, or is available for access, by customers of a prohibited internet gambling service.
A prohibited internet gambling service is a gambling service provided in the course of carrying on a business to customers using an internet carriage service, and an individual physically present in Australia is capable of becoming a customer of the service.
If ACMA receives a complaint about prohibited internet gambling content that is hosted in Australia, ACMA will refer the matter to the Australian Federal Police.
If prohibited internet gambling content is hosted outside Australia, ACMA will notify the content to makers of the approved Family Friendly Filters listed in Schedule 1 to the Interactive Gambling Act Industry Code.
