In short order there arose a thriving industry in horse racing (and in betting on their outcomes), and Australia soon developed legislation governing a great number of gambling forms, including most of the classic table games of European casinos, and gradually incorporating more local forms of entertainment. Online gambling remains in an odd legal position in Australia: on the one hand it is technically not illegal for a person to play poker or casino games online, but on the other hand it is specifically illegal for any enterprise to offer online gambling services to Australians, provided they are respectful of Australian law. The reality is that the vast majority of online casinos and poker rooms happily accept Australian players, apparently unconcerned by threat of prosecution in Australia. <strong> EDITED: Unfortunately I have had to remove your link as it is illegal to promote games of chance on Australian web sites. Until someone can show me a law satying otherwise all links relating to casinos and games of chance will be removed. Sorry, I don't make the laws.</strong> When Australia was first colonised by people from the West, those people brought with them not only a broad social acceptance of gambling – many of them were from what is now called the UK – but an expectation of legalised gambling.

The banner exchange does not allow this but I do not have a problem with it personally. I have also had issues with people who think it is immoral to promote any type of online gambling.
