Do you know of any sites stating the laws of poker in Australia?

Question

For example are cash games at home legal? Are you allowed to have numbers on chips? (eg $25 chip,$100chip or $500chip ect)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

I don't want to send you to a site that you have to be a lawyer to understand, so In a nutshell the government there is targeting online gambling sites by having made it illegal to provide gaming services to people residing in Australia.  The law has been around for about 7 years though and it's probably scared away some Australians from playing online but hasn't bothered any of the foreign sites who welcome Australians with open arms.  As for the players the government isn't really targeting them and realizes that there isn't a way to do so effectively anyway.  

As for home games, visit http://www.homepokergames.com/australia.... and you'll see that people are advertising them openly and obviously aren't concerned at all so I can't imagine why you should be ;)
