IAG MAR 2023年3月 亞博匯 58 There has also been a heightened focus on collaboration on the domestic front, including with state and territory gambling regulators and other federal government agencies as we are seeing an increase in complaints about illegal activity occurring within Australia. IAG: What are some of ACMA’s key initiatives and outcomes and how do youmeasure impact and success? CC: As noted above, we take a multi-pronged approach to combat illegal offshore gambling. This includes investigation and enforcement activities, engagement with industry and regulators, and consumer education. One key initiative is the disruption of illegal services by requesting participating Australian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block access to their website, as well as any mirror sites that are established to circumvent the blocks. We look at a number of factors to assess the effectiveness of this activity and our impact on the offshore gambling market more broadly. These include the number of offshore sites that have withdrawn from the Australian market due to ACMA investigation and enforcement action, the amount of Australian traffic to a contravening website once it has been blocked at the request of the ACMA, as well as estimates of Australian offshore gambling activity provided by data intelligence providers such as H2 Gambling Capital. We have IN FOCUS 國、新澤西、馬恩島、馬耳他和荷蘭等 主要司法管轄區的博彩監管機構和政府 機構合作，分享網絡信息和經驗，致力 肋力我們執法和打擊非法服務。我們將 繼續探索進一步監管合作的機會。 我們還更加關注國內方面的合作， 包括與州和區域博彩監管機構以及其他 聯邦政府機構的合作，因為我們看到對 澳洲境內發生的非法活動的投訴有所增 加。 IAG：可否列舉ACMA過往的一些關鍵舉 措和成果？您如何衡量其影響和是否成 功？ CC： 如前述，我們採取多管齊下的方 法來打擊非法離岸賭博，其中包括調查 和執法活動、與行業和監管機構的接觸 以及消費者教育。其中一項關鍵舉措是 通過要求參與的澳洲互聯網服務提供商 (ISP) 屏蔽訪問其網站，以及為規避屏蔽 而建立的任何鏡像站點中斷非法服務。 我們綜合考慮了多種因素來評估 這項活動的有效性，以及我們對更廣 泛的離岸博彩市場的影響。其中包括 因ACMA調查和執法行動而退出澳洲 市場的離岸網站數量，應ACMA要求 被屏蔽的違規網站的訪問量，以及由 H2Gambling Capital等數據情報提供商 提供的澳洲離岸賭博網站的估計總量。 自2017年我們開始執行IGA以來，有超 過180個非法賭博網站和附屬網站退出
