Australia might censore Internet Gambling

Following the steps of Kentucky, there is now a plan in Australia that will censure all porn and gambling sites in the whole country. The destiny of 141 domain names are again in risk and the whole gambling industry is finding itself in a very complicated position.

It is forbidden to run casinos in Australia and Senator Xenophon told the newspaper "The Age" that he "would look to use [the ban] to block Australians from accessing overseas online casino sites, which are illegal to run in Australia.”

Censorship arguments have been brought up en masse as the opposition rallies behind the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) and Interactive Media and Entertainment Gaming Association (iMEGA). Of note is that TwinSpires.com, a site that allows online wagering on horse racing, is not among the sites targeted, as it is owned by Kentucky-based Churchill Downs Incorporated.

We'll keep updates on this.
