The government is taking this measure in an effort to curb the proliferation of online casinos and the resulting rise in personal bankruptcies. 
Additional authority to enforce restrictions has been granted to the communications watchdog. A parliamentary investigation into gambling recommended that the federal government phase out gambling advertising over three years. The government is now considering this proposal. 
Responsible Wagering Australia director Kai Cantwell urged the government to broaden the prohibition to encompass all forms of gambling. If these regulations are limited to online casinos alone, he says, players will simply find another place to use cryptocurrency, play for fun, and lose their money.

Cryptocurrencies used in gambling are now illegal in Australia.
