Summary

South Australia regulates gambling through the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner, supported by the Liquor, Gambling and Lotteries division of Consumer and Business Services. The Gambling Administration Act 2019 gives the Commissioner code-making, inspection, barring and disciplinary powers across the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000, the Casino Act 1997, the Gaming Machines Act 1992 and the Lotteries Act 2019. Online betting on races and approved sports contingencies is lawful. UBET SA Pty Ltd, trading as TAB, holds the only comprehensive major betting operations licence, and most online bookmakers take South Australian bets as authorised interstate betting operators: licensed elsewhere in Australia, they notify the Commissioner under section 40A and must follow the state's code of practice. The Commissioner's list held 136 such operators on 23 September 2026. Online casino and poker are prohibited nationally by the federal Interactive Gambling Act 2001. Since 1 July 2017 every betting operator has paid betting operations tax of 15% on net wagering revenue from bets placed by people in South Australia above $150,000 a year. The code of practice in force from 1 January 2026 bans advertising of inducements, with narrow exceptions such as bonus bets on racing-only platforms, requires express consent for direct marketing, requires a deposit or loss limit at account opening unless the customer opts out, requires monthly activity statements and keeps gambling advertising off weekday breakfast radio and afternoon television. SkyCity Adelaide holds the only casino licence and in June 2026 agreed in principle to a $21 million fine; in September 2026 its parent began a formal sale process for the casino. Hotel and club gaming machines produced net gambling revenue of $1,008.46 million in 2024-25. Federal advertising, inducement and affiliate reforms commence on 1 January 2027.

Common pitfalls

Assuming no South Australian obligations attach without a South Australian licence: an operator licensed elsewhere that takes bets from the State is an authorised interstate betting operator bound by the state code of practice, including the inducement ban, and must register for betting operations tax within 7 days after the month in which its South Australian net wagering revenue passes $150,000 in a financial year. Offers marked as unavailable to South Australian residents must, as far as practicable, not be published in the State.

Tax base
Betting operations tax (Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000, Part 3B) is paid by every betting operator, including one not licensed or authorised in South Australia, on its net State wagering revenue for the financial year above $150,000, at 15% (s. 40D). Net State wagering revenue is all bets made by persons located in South Australia when the bet was made, plus all associated fees and commissions, less winnings paid or payable and refunds (s. 40B; Regulations 2016, reg. 7A). Land-based: hotel gaming machine tax is progressive on annual net gambling revenue, from nil up to $75,000 to 65% of revenue above $3.5 million, with a lower scale to 55% for non-profit clubs (Gaming Machines Act 1992, s. 72); casino duty is set by agreement (Casino Act 1997, s. 17).

Barriers to entry
Most online wagering operators serve South Australia without a South Australian licence: an operator licensed in another state or territory notifies the Commissioner and becomes an authorised interstate betting operator under s. 40A.

Authorised operators must follow the South Australian code of practice, lodge an annual return and pay betting operations tax, and can be fined or prohibited from operating in the State. The count of 6 is the ACMA register entries licensed by South Australia: UBET SA Pty Ltd and five bookmakers.

Identity must be verified before the account is opened or any service is provided.
AML regime
Customer identification and transaction reporting follow the federal AML/CTF Act and Rules, regulated by AUSTRAC.
AML supervisor
AUSTRAC
Deposit limits
An account may not be opened, nor wagering provided, unless the person has set a relevant limit on net losses, deposits or both, or has expressly opted out after being shown information approved by the Commissioner. A request to lower a limit applies immediately; an increase or revocation takes effect only after 7 days and once the provider is satisfied the customer can sustain it. Active account holders must be asked each year whether to set or change a limit (Code of Practice, cl. 41).
Loss limits
The relevant limit under cl. 41 may apply to net betting losses, at the provider's election, regardless of the number of accounts held.
Affordability checks
Where loyalty or account data indicate a person may be at risk of harm, the provider must limit their gambling, for example by suspending the account, until they verify they can sustain it (cl. 27(6)). High value patron status needs satisfaction that the person can sustain the expected level of gambling indefinitely (cl. 35).
KYC requirements
A gambling provider must not provide gambling services by telephone, internet or other electronic means to a person in South Australia unless it has established a gambling account for the person, which may be funded only by the person or at their direction and may not go into negative balance (Code of Practice, cl. 37). Licensees must not accept bets from a child, a person under 18, and must have approved systems to prevent it (Act, ss. 43 and 60). Since 29 September 2024 AUSTRAC has required online gambling providers to complete applicable customer identification procedures before opening an account.
Stake limits
Not yet verified
Mandatory player messaging
Monthly activity statements must be emailed to active account holders within 7 days of month end, showing amounts spent, won and lost, deposits, withdrawals and a six-month graph, with losses in red and no marketing content (cl. 44). Each virtual gambling area must state that operations are governed by a code of practice and link to it (cl. 31).
Reporting obligations
Authorised interstate betting operators lodge an annual return by 30 September and notify changes of particulars within 14 days (ss. 40A(5a) and 40AA). Gambling providers record barring requests and notify the Commissioner within 7 days (Gambling Administration Act 2019, s. 44(7)). Betting operations tax returns are monthly once net State wagering revenue passes $150,000, or annual for licensed bookmakers. The Commissioner received 16 complaints in 2024-25.
Game content restrictions
Bets may be taken only on races held by licensed racing clubs and on contingencies approved by the Commissioner, consolidated as at 23 May 2025 (Act, ss. 4 and 40A(4)(c)). Online in-play betting is prohibited nationally. Barring orders can be made by the Commissioner or a provider at a person's request or where the person is at risk of harm (Gambling Administration Act 2019, s. 44); 4,553 barrings covering all forms of gambling were recorded in 2024-25. Staff involved in wagering must complete responsible service of wagering training within a month of starting and refresher training every 12 months (cl. 47).

Advertising

Watershed
Gambling advertising may not be placed on radio between 6.00am and 8.30am or on television between 4.00pm and 7.30pm, Monday to Friday, except on dedicated sports channels (Code, cl. 13). Broadcast codes bar gambling advertising and odds promotion from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after live sport between 5.00am and 8.30pm, with racing broadcasts excepted.
Affiliate rules
An act of a provider's agent is treated as the provider's act under the code (cl. 7). Social media advertising includes content created and shared by another person or organisation for payment (cl. 4). From 1 January 2027 federal law bans commissions to staff or affiliates based on customer activity.
Sponsorship rules
No South Australian sponsorship rule was found beyond the advertising code. From 1 January 2027 federal law restricts wagering advertising in sports venues.
Social media rules
Social media posts of more than 160 characters need a tagline and the expanded call to action; shorter posts need a tagline and "Set a deposit limit" (cl. 21). From 1 January 2027 online wagering advertising is restricted under the Gambling Reform Act 2026.
Bonus advertising rules
Bonus bets may be advertised only for racing bets, on predominantly racing platforms and in their racing-only sections (cl. 11(3)), and winnings from complimentary bets must be withdrawable without further betting (cl. 33). From 1 January 2027 inducements may not be direct-marketed to new account holders for 14 days, people who left BetStop in the previous 3 months or customers identified as at risk.
Mandatory warnings
Interactive wagering advertising must carry one of the rotating taglines in Schedule 2, such as "Chances are you're about to lose." or "What are you prepared to lose today? Set a deposit limit.", with a call to action such as "For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au", in formats set for television, radio, apps, digital, print, social media and websites (cls 16 to 22). Venue-based providers use rotating condensed warning messages set for six-month periods (Schedule 1).
Penalties for breach
Breach of a mandatory code provision is an offence (Gambling Administration Act 2019, s. 16): up to $20,000 for a category A offence for betting providers and up to $75,000 for the casino licensee. A breach is also cause for disciplinary action, with fines of up to $100,000 for an authorised interstate betting operator (s. 39). Publishing an advertisement for a prohibited interactive gambling service is a federal offence.

Restrictions

  • Gambling advertising must not depict children gambling, be false or misleading, suggest winning is certain or improves financial prospects, promote alcohol with gambling, or include images of cash or increased account balances (Authorised Betting Operations Gambling Code of Practice, cl. 9).
  • Advertising must not offer any credit, voucher or reward as an inducement to gamble, to open an account or not to close one; offers carrying a disclaimer that they are unavailable to South Australian residents must, as far as practicable, not be published in South Australia (cl. 9(1)(h) and (i)).
  • Interactive wagering providers may send direct marketing only with express consent, may not make consent a condition of an account, must offer easy unsubscribing and must stop within 5 business days of an unsubscribe or closure request (cls 39 and 40).
  • Gambling advertising must not appear at cinemas screening G, PG, M or MA15+ films, and providers' logos must not be worn when engaging mainly with minors (cl. 25).
  • Advertising of prohibited or unlicensed online gambling services is banned nationally (Interactive Gambling Act 2001, s. 61EA).

Frequently asked questions

Who regulates gambling in South Australia?
The Liquor and Gambling Commissioner, under the Gambling Administration Act 2019, supported by Consumer and Business Services. RevenueSA collects betting operations tax, the ACMA enforces the federal Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and AUSTRAC supervises AML/CTF compliance.
Can an operator licensed in another state take bets from South Australians?
Yes, by telephone or online, on races and approved contingencies, after giving notice to the Commissioner under section 40A of the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000. It then must follow the South Australian code of practice, lodge an annual return by 30 September and pay betting operations tax. The list held 136 operators on 23 September 2026.
What tax do betting operators pay on South Australian customers?
Betting operations tax of 15% of net State wagering revenue above $150,000 a financial year, on bets made by people located in South Australia. Operators other than licensed bookmakers lodge returns and pay within 21 days after the end of each month.
What does the code of practice require of online wagering providers?
No advertised inducements beyond narrow exceptions, with bonus bets advertised only on racing-only platforms, direct marketing only with express consent, a deposit or loss limit at account opening unless the customer opts out, increases to limits only after 7 days, monthly activity statements and rotating safer gambling taglines in advertising.

Federal reforms restrict wagering advertising on television, radio, online and in sports venues, limit direct marketing of inducements to at-risk and new customers, create an advertising opt-out register and ban commissions to staff or affiliates based on customer activity.
