Australia’s media watchdog is putting the heat on unauthorized online gambling sites trying to pass themselves off as being based in the country.

On Tuesday, Aussie media outlet ABC reported that the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) was trying to determine whether multiple gambling sites using .cc web domains were in fact authorized to offer sports betting services to Australian gamblers.

The .cc domain refers to the Cocos [Keeling] Islands, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean with only around 600 residents, which has tried to carve out a niche in the internet economy by promoting its web-identity as “the next .com.”

Independent MP and noted gambling scold Andrew Wilkie (pictured) has demanded the federal government “take immediate action to shut down these sites and stop them offering illegal services to Australian customers.”
