What Licensing Means for Cricket Bettors
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 is administered by ACMA, the Australian Communications and Media Authority, and applies to all operators, offshore ones included. For sports betting online, the Act permits only licensed pre-match wagering for people in Australia. JeetCity holds an offshore Curacao licence rather than an Australian one, so any cricket markets it lists fall outside that licensed category. Before placing a pre-match cricket bet, confirm that the provider is licensed in Australia. Wagering is for adults aged 18 or over; Gambling Help Online offers support on 1800 858 858, and BetStop provides national self-exclusion.
