Australia has followed the United States' lead with their recent decision to ban online poker and live sports betting. Australia originally brought up this issue with their proposed 2001 Internet Gambling Act that aimed to outlaw all types of online gaming but that bill had loopholes that allowed Internet betting to continue.
