The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has banged their chest extra Tarzan hard by roping in the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to help them put a leash on non-Australian based online gambling companies.

Richard Bean, Acting Chairman of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), has taken robust measures to ensure those trying to serve Australian punters in the wake of the new legislation have a strong reason to cease immediately.

In a cool and calculated move, Mr Bean has written to David Rebuck, Director of the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE), to remind him that NJ gaming law ensures that parties towing the line cannot violate gaming laws in foreign countries.

In April 2016, the DGE issued a Director’s Advisory Bulletin (DAB) entitled Impact of Operations in Grey Markets on Suitability for Licensure. The DAB made it clear to B2B and B2C companies licensed to operate in NJ that once a Grey Market state notifies the DGE of their intent to start smacking people in the ass for violating their laws that the DGE would recognise the market as Black.
