Minister Dale Nally flagged, in a statement reported from G2E Las Vegas, an intent to pressure app stores, specifically Google and Apple, and social platforms that distribute unlicensed gambling apps or advertising, as part of the enforcement toolkit now available following the 13 October 2026 expiry of the grey-market grace period. This represents a newly-flagged distribution-layer enforcement lever rather than an amendment to any existing platform-rules instrument; no AGLC order giving effect to this pressure had been published. The approach targets the distribution channel for unlicensed gambling products directly, extending enforcement exposure beyond the operators themselves to the app-store and social-platform intermediaries that carry their apps and advertising.
