How To Start An Online Casino In Australia?

You cannot operate an Australian-licensed online casino offering real-money games to residents due to the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. However, Australian players can legally access offshore casinos licensed in Curacao, Malta, or Costa Rica [citation:2][citation:4]. To target Australian players, obtain an offshore license, ensure compliance with local advertising restrictions, and offer AUD support with fast PayID withdrawals [citation:2].
