The country reference of 6 November 2026 counts 214 records in the ACMA register of licensed interactive gambling providers, 66 of them without a URL. The Victorian commission holds 76 records and Liquor & Gaming NSW holds 70. These figures have not yet been re-read from the register download on 13 November 2026.

## Records by licensing authority

Licences come from state and territory authorities, not from ACMA. ACMA keeps the register and publishes it as a CSV and JSON download. The ten authorities below sum to 214 records.

**Bottom line:** 214 records and 66 without a URL, as read on 6 November 2026 and not yet re-read.

## Counts claimed by list sites

**Counts of "legal bookmakers" stated by list sites · as stated by them, not verified by us · checked 2026-11-06**

| Count stated | What it is compared with here |
|---|---|
| 143 | One list site gives this in a page title. The register shows 214 records, of which 148 carry a URL (214 minus 66) |
| 280 | A second list site gives this figure |
| 290 or more | A third list site gives this figure |

The sites are not named and not linked. A record in the register is not the same as a distinct operator: one licence holder can have several records. So none of the three counts can be set against 214 directly.

**Bottom line:** a stated count is a claim, and the register download is the primary source.

## How the figures are made

We download the register as JSON or CSV on the check date and store the file with its hash. We count rows, rows where the URL field reads No current URL, and rows by licensing authority.

The figures on this page come from the country reference, which records the register on 6 November 2026. They are shown with that date until the download is re-read.

## FAQ

**How many records does the ACMA register list?**

The country reference counts 214 records on 6 November 2026, 66 of them without a URL. We have not yet re-read the register download on 13 November 2026, so the figure carries its original date.

**Which authority licensed the most records?**

The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission, with 76 records. Liquor & Gaming NSW follows with 70, and the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission with 44.

**Do list sites' counts of legal bookmakers match the register?**

Three list sites state 143, 280 and 290 or more. The register counts records, not distinct operators, so the numbers do not compare directly. Of the 214 records, 148 carry a URL.

**Does ACMA issue the licences?**

No. State and territory authorities issue them. ACMA keeps the register and enforces the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.
