Australian Online Gambling Sites Face Fines for Accepting Crypto and Credit Cards

The ban aims to protect customers and prevent vulnerable Australians from moving to less-regulated types of gambling. Blockchain-based betting site Polymarket recently raised $70 million in funding rounds, but a debate broke out over the meaning of "approved" in relation to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of eight spot Ethereum ETFs.
