Gaming and gambling operations in Australia take place in a complex and rapidly changing legal and policy landscape. With deep experience of the sector and a strategic problem-solving approach, Addisons provides comprehensive advice covering all aspects of law and regulation affecting these sectors, in particular, the extent to which gambling laws apply.
Addisons’ Gaming & Gambling team is backed by leading legal expertise in market regulation, intellectual property, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We guide clients from market entry into Australia, through investment and operational regulation such as know your customer (KYC), anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) and harm minimisation requirements. We advise on promotional, and business strategies for international gambling projects, both in-bound into Australia as well as out-bound to international markets.
Clients include investors, financiers, operators of online and physical gambling venues, gaming machine manufacturers, and service providers, as well as gambling industry associations and other local and international gambling industry participants. We assist startup and experienced participants in the gaming and entertainment sectors, including console games suppliers, social games websites and esports tournament organisers.
