NZ online casinos: What the 1 December deadline means for operators without a licence application
27 October 2026

From 1 December 2026, online casino operators that have not applied for a licence in New Zealand must stop offering online casino gambling in New Zealand. Operators with a pending application may keep operating until their application has been decided but cannot advertise.

AML/CTF independent evaluations: what AUSTRAC requires and how to prepare
6 October 2026

The March 2026 reforms to Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime replaced the familiar “independent review” with a broader independent evaluation. The emphasis has changed and evaluations now look more closely at whether your program works in practice, not only at what it says. Handled well, an evaluation is a valuable opportunity to test your program with fresh eyes. Here is what AUSTRAC requires and how to prepare.

Suspicious Matter Reports and Tipping Off: What Reporting Entities Need to Know
4 August 2026

If your business provides designated services, two AML/CTF obligations work closely together: knowing when to submit a suspicious matter report (SMR), and knowing how to avoid tipping off. At first glance they can feel like competing priorities. One asks you to flag concerns to AUSTRAC, while the other limits what you can say to the very customer those concerns relate to. Handled well, they are entirely compatible. Here is what matters most, and what to do next.

AML/CTF reforms four months on: is your pub, club or venue's compliance implemented?
29 July 2026

Reforms to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (AML/CTF Act) took effect on 31 March 2026. The reforms in AML/CTF Act together with the new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules 2025 (the Rules) marked a significant step towards a more risk-based compliance framework. AUSTRAC has warned that a purely procedural approach to compliance is not sufficient and instead emphasised that the purpose of the reforms is to help businesses better identify, assess and manage money laundering and terrorism financing risks.

Australia’s evolving gambling regulatory landscape
2 July 2026

Australia's gambling regulatory landscape in 2026 remains dynamic with relevant developments and sustained regulatory activity across multiple fronts. From recent AML/CTF reforms and heightened AUSTRAC and ACMA enforcement activity, to the introduction of a New Zealand online casino licensing regime and unresolved questions around cashless gaming, advertising restrictions and in-play betting, Australian and New Zealand operators face a year in which compliance decisions carry material commercial consequences.

This article provides a structured overview of some of the key regulatory developments impacting wagering, gaming and broader gambling businesses in 2026 - what has changed, what remains uncertain and where attention should be focused now to stay ahead of what is coming.
