Addisons Partner Jamie Nettleton joined iGaming Daily SBC Media Manager Charlie Horner and Ted Orme-Claye in a conversation on 1 April 2026 to discuss the evolving online gambling regulatory landscape in Australia, unpack key reform debates, enforcement pressures, and what the future could hold for one of the world’s most lucrative gambling markets.

The discussion covered:

  • The regulatory pressure points facing the Australian online gambling market
  • How political and public sentiment is shaping online gambling reform discussions
  • What stricter AML and consumer protection measures could mean for wagering operators
  • Whether a national regulator is inevitable
  • Why Australia continues to attract strong M&A interest in the gambling sector despite uncertainty

Please contact a member of Addisons’ Gaming & Gambling team to discuss any of the issues raised in the video.

 

This conversation took place before the release of the Federal Government’s response to the Murphy Report and the tabling in Parliament of the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026. See our Insight: Australian Gambling Reforms: Who You Are and How This Affects You
