Gambling transactions not blocked on credit cards
From 18 April 2024, changes will be applied on credit cards
With the introduction of the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Bill 2023 by the Federal Government, credit cards, amongst other payment methods, can no longer be used as a way to pay for interactive wagering services.
The Bill aims to prevent gamblers from spending money from a credit facility that they may not have the means to repay. The Bill also aims to bring online gambling inline with other forms of gambling for which credit cards also can’t be used.
