Gambling

Australia’s gambling industry is diverse, ranging from luxurious casinos and entertainment centres to modern online gambling platforms and sports betting operations. However, with these opportunities come significant regulatory challenges. Operators must navigate strict oversight from state regulators (like the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation in Queensland, for example), comply with licensing requirements and manage risks related to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) obligations. In addition, the growing emphasis on social responsibility has made reputation management a key focus.

Astris Law works with gambling operators in meeting these complex regulatory requirements. For casinos and online gambling platforms, support is provided with obtaining and renewing licences with regulators, ensuring compliance with local and federal gaming laws. The firm also helps operators develop Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) programs that meet AUSTRAC standards, minimising the risk of penalties or sanctions. Consumer protection and corporate social responsibility are other critical areas. Astris Law works with clients to draft and implement effective corporate social responsibility policies to promote responsible gambling and safeguard their reputation in a socially conscious market.

When disputes arise, such as claims of unfair practices or exploitation, Phronesis offers focused litigation strategies to protect operators’ interests while ensuring adherence to ethical and legal standards. Astris Law works with gambling operators to manage regulatory obligations, safeguard their business and focus on providing engaging and lawful customer experiences.
