It's not the same at most sites...

I don't think it's actually illegal for us to gamble at online casino's & poker rooms, but it may be illegal for offshore sites to offer it?

hi wolf
i think we have the same problem
im also coming from a country with rules against gambling
we dont have casinos here,no poker clubs..nothing
only the lottery
but i dont think there is a problem if u play poker online
the problem is with the survers and they are not in your country so its like going to casino when you are abroad

Betfair and quite a few English sites don't allow Australian players.

I registered on Betfair before they decided we were not able to play and I have played there as recently as today with no problems.

There are literally over 100 sites that you could register to play with being an aussie still located in Australia.

Start with many of the sites listed on this site with the sign up deals ...
