These directions regulate how wagering service providers offer interactive wagering and betting services, as well as how they advertise their services.Ĭommonwealth and state and territory governments launched the National Consumer Protection Framework (NCPF) in November 2018, which aims to reduce the harm from online wagering by providing nationally consistent minimum protections for people using legal online wagering service providers in Australia. Wagering service providers who offer interactive wagering and betting services (such as online and telephone betting) must comply with strict requirements contained in the direction of the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation.
