Australia didn't ban bitcoin gambling per se,everything non-sport related betting was illegal long ago
so this article has nothing to do with reality
also even if it is illegal,it cannot be enforced if you want to gamble at home,unless they put some sophisticated ISP level filters
and snoop your traffic,which is outrageous in itself
but if there are australian based casinos,they must comply,i.e. they cannot get licensed there and won't accepr AU users (but none said you could not use VPN,right?)
Topic: Australia banned gambling. Who's left? (Read 419 times)
The irony here is that if it weren't for governments trying to tax poker and banks freezing credit card payments to online casinos, then I would never have invested so heavily into bitcoin 
No point in learning to play poker if the house and government's rakes cut so deep into my EV. Now I have 2.9btc because I've learned not to trust the banks. Especially during wartime.
P.S. VPNs don't hide metadata, and those that do have a very slow ping. Anyone wiretapping you will know what sites you visit.

able to use one?
90% people that play with cryptos knows about VPN
I'll be amazed that you actually believe that people who gamble online wont know about VPN, this is one of the most basic thing that people coming to gambling know. There're many countries which does'nt allow gambling yet using VPN they gamble highest. See for me if a gambler really wants to bet he'll find a way. As far as the condition in Australia is there any further update regarding the situation or there's been no new news till date?
VPN won't save them when they are required to upload their ID to verify themselves for KYC purposes unless they also have fake documents which is essentially illegal. It may work for Bitcoin casinos but in the real world it wouldn't at all

Actually, a few guys I know who USE VPN don't realize that's what they're doing. These aren't old people either, just a few years around my age. They use mobile phones and internet a lot, social media and all that, and use VPNs but the simple add ons like with browser extensions or phone apps. They don't even realise it's a VPN they just know it lets them surf places the government won't let them.
So... yeah I'm not surprised if ppl don't realize. You say VPN they say huh?

Not just Australia but the states have banned sportsbook casinos for several years now. I remember a site, I think it was bodog, that did not allow anyone from the united states to access their site and it was in their terms of service. The latest one which was considered on of the largest bitcoin casinos banned customer from the states accessing their site a while ago. Just go to Cloudbet's old ANN thread to see quite a bit of accusations against them in not paying out winnings. They can hide behind their terms of service in rejecting paying their customers if they are trying to access their site behind a VPN.
Casinos are smarter than you think.
VPNs can not be used on certain casino sites as they are detected and refused access with a message saying you are using a vpn thus can not proceed or just timesout without loading the selected website.

You may be way more tech-savvy than the average person, who is interested in
online gambling. How many people don´t even know what a VPN is yet alone are
able to use one?
I´d argue that the regulatory entities don´t care if 10 % of the people still
participate in a prohibited activity by using a VPN or an anonymous payment method.
They care about the 90 % of the people, who don´t care enough or don´t know
how to circumvent the regulations.

And we have crypto, you can hide yourself in many ways and that kind of gambling will never be banned globally, some counties like Australia will have some restrictions but even people from there have ways to gamble. I support comment that says we will always find a way if we wish enough.

It doesn't matter whose next because they will take the ban away so they can regulate and tax the crap out of it. Look no further than the USA for the leading power and a bullish signal.
This is the best example of Carrot and Stick first instill the fear in the minds of people, then sugar coat them guess what just pay taxes and we're cool. This is the norm these days, what gullible gamblers don't understand say X country has banned it, how will they track it?

People get smart and know you cannot be tracked!

How is that different than the USA then. Bitcoin isn't banned there but they don't allow online Bitcoin gambling.
Basically I am pretty sure Bitcoin gambling wouldn't be banned anywhere if BTC was 10 cents.
But since it's becoming more and more mainstream. All the casino and gambling corps are losing money and forcing the government to make it illegal.

Yep. USA is fucked too.
It's probably because of that provably fair system.
They would lose big money if they had to prove how the game comes up with an outcome.
USA is totally fucked up after the Black Friday. They are one of the most communistic 'democracy' in the world.
But Australian markets are open for foreigners after verification. And their laws are forcing the local bookies to offer very decent services.
I don't know much concerning the gambling issue in Australia but the news posted by the OP cocerning Australia joining the anti crypto wagon was wrong news and the last time I checked Australian Banks even allow their customers to buy cryptocurrencies.
It's apparently not about banning cryptocurrencies but just using them for gambling.
Yeah, doesn't make sense..
Australia is becoming socialist..

In an email obtained by The Australian Financial Review, regional gaming regulator NTRC stressed it “is intending to issue a formal communique to all sports bookmakers and betting exchange operators licensed in the NT if currently transacting in cryptocurrency (for example Bitcoin, Ethereum and the like) for their wagering operations to immediately cease and desist.”
For whatever reason, the Australian government has had what local press are calling an “antagonistic stance regarding cryptocurrency”, going so far as to place limits on those licensed from competing with international wagering outfits online: broadcast ads are restricted as are types of poker and other games. Businesses unresponsive to the likes of emails above risk losing favorable tax advantages along with license generally.

Gambling in australia is similar to gins in america.
they are on a giant island so what would you do if you lived there?
its a sad reality and beautiful country to visit but everyone loves to gamble.
I dont think this will effect bitcoin in very much.

It's not too surprising, the market of crypto is getting bigger and bigger in a very short time, and this has been making each government from every country to evaluate crypto currencies, this will be another scheme to try to regulate the gambling sector, I think soon they will lift the ban and put regulation, the real reasons of this ban will be the tax and erase the anonymity provide by crypto
