LeoVegas is the latest major operator to withdraw from Australia’s gaming market in response to new regulations.
Last month, the Australian Senate approved the Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill, which includes legislation that bans all remote operators from offering online poker and in-play sports betting to players in the country.
Several companies including PokerStars, 888, PartyPoker and 32Red have also announced they will cease real-money operations in the country.
The company has warned its affiliates to immediately stop promoting their links in Australia, as it would breach the partnership terms, and affiliates will no longer receive revenue share from customers in the country.
