Home to Melbourne and some 6 million of the country’s population, Victoria is packed with people who enjoy the occasional bet, in both physical gambling venues and online. Gambling in Victoria is entirely legal, like the rest of Australia, and the legislation in this area aims to regulate gambling providers, rather than individual players looking for a flutter.
While the government has taken steps to regulate to ‘reduce the harm caused to individual gamblers’ through the types of gambling services they allow within Australian borders, it is practically very difficult for Australian regulators to prevent international casinos, poker sites and sportsbooks from offering the same services to Aussie gamblers as they do to the rest of the world. Essentially, as an Aussie gambler you have nothing to fear – the law is on your side, wherever and however you choose to gamble online.
