ACMA Licensed Game Types
The Australian Communications and Media Commission (ACMA) regulates licensed online casinos under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA). The ACMA license not only confirms the legality of the operator, but also strictly determines what types of games are allowed to be provided in Australia.
1. General principles of game resolution
The game must meet the requirements of honesty and transparency.
The random number generator (RNG) and algorithms are certified.
The operator is obliged to introduce responsible play measures (limits, self-locking).
Products that violate the provisions of the IGA are prohibited, for example, some forms of online poker and slots with certain mechanics.
2. The main permitted types of games under the ACMA license
2. 1. Slots (Pokies)
Classic and video slots with certified RNG.
The minimum RTP is usually at least 85-90%.
Mechanics capable of inducing game dependence (such as false winnings) should be excluded.
2. 2. Board Games
Roulette (European, French, American).
Blackjack in various variants.
Baccarat including mini baccarat.
Casino Poker (Caribbean Stud, Casino Hold'em, Three Card Poker).
2. 3. Live games with dealers
Roulette, blackjack, baccarat live.
Games must be conducted from certified studios with real croupiers.
The quality of the video broadcast and the equipment are audited.

Instant digital sweepstakes certified for integrity.
2. 5. Sports betting (if the operator has a separate license)

Live bets only within the current ACMA and IGA rules.
3. Restrictions and prohibitions
Online poker between players (P2P) is prohibited in most cases.
Games with uncertified RNGs or algorithms.
Products with aggressive player retention mechanics (e.g. autoplay without limits).
4. Operator responsibility
If the list of permitted games is violated, the license may be revoked.
Regular technical audits and ACMA reports are required.
Games that are not on the allowed list must be immediately removed from the platform.
Conclusion
The ACMA strictly controls what types of games are available to Australian players. Licensed operators are required to offer only products that meet technical standards, legal regulations and principles of responsible play. This guarantees the honesty, security and legal protection of users.
