TasmaniaOnline gaming is regulated in Tasmania by the Gaming Control Act of 1993. The act discussed gaming in general and was silent on the matter of online gaming until it was amended on 22 December 1999. The amendment legalized and provided a licensing system for several categories of online gaming including fixed-odds wagering, sports betting, simulated games, and lotteries. On 24 November 2005, amid controversy, the act was amended to permit betting exchanges. The application fee for a Tasmanian Gaming License is 30,000 fee units. The Liquor and Gaming Branch contains the latest fee unit value. Annual taxes vary depending on the type of gaming operation. In early 2008, Tasmania was added to the United Kingdom’s white list of jurisdictions that are allowed to advertise online gambling in the UK. Tasmania was one of the first three jurisdictions outside the UK mainland to be added to the list. All 3 Tasmania sites support English. edit your preferences Tasmania
