Licence verification

We publish the licensee, ABN and regulator for every operator on this site, each linked to the public record it comes from. Below is what we hold, and how to run the same check yourself on any Australian betting site.

On file

Operators we feature

Checked against the regulator's listing and the ABN Register on the date shown. If any of it goes stale, tell us and we will re-check it.

Do it yourself

Checking any betting site

Four steps, about five minutes, and it works on any site — including the ones we have never reviewed.

  1. Step 01

    Find the legal entity

    Scroll to the footer of the operator's site. A licensed Australian operator states the company that holds the licence and, usually, its ABN. A site that names no entity at all is the first red flag.

  2. Step 02

    Check the entity on the ABN Register

    Search the entity name or ABN at abr.business.gov.au. You are confirming that the company exists, is currently active, and matches the name on the site — not that it is licensed.

  3. Step 03

    Check the licence with the regulator

    Australian wagering licences are issued by state and territory authorities, and most online operators are licensed in the Northern Territory. Look the entity up on the issuing regulator's licensee listing.

  4. Step 04

    Sanity-check what is on offer

    If a site offers pokies, roulette, blackjack or real-money poker to Australians, no Australian licence covers it — because none exists. That alone tells you the operator is not licensed here, whatever badge it displays.

Who issues Australian wagering licences

There is no single national gambling regulator in Australia. Wagering licences are issued by state and territory authorities, and the great majority of online operators are licensed in the Northern Territory — since 1 July 2024 by the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission, under the Racing and Wagering Act 2024 (NT), which replaced the Racing and Betting Act 1983. Operators licensed elsewhere are regulated by that state or territory's authority.

Separately, the Australian Communications and Media Authority enforces the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 nationally. The ACMA maintains a register of licensed interactive wagering providers, investigates complaints about prohibited services, and asks internet providers to block illegal offshore gambling sites.

What a licence does and does not guarantee

A licence means the operator is subject to Australian rules — identity verification, deposit limits, activity statements, the credit-card ban, BetStop integration, advertising restrictions — and that there is a regulator you can complain to if it fails. It is meaningful protection and it is worth insisting on.

It does not make betting safe, and it does not make it profitable. A licensed operator is still a business whose margin comes out of its customers over time. Treat the licence as the minimum bar for whether an operator is worth considering at all — not as a reason to bet.
