The Remote Gambling Order, 2026, made by the Minister of Finance under section 76(2), was affirmed by the House of Representatives and then unanimously by the Senate on 2 October 2026, removing the Act's prohibition on international remote gambling offerings for that licence class. The Act commences by Proclamation and only Parts I, II and X are currently in force; the licensing, regulation, compliance and enforcement Parts remain unproclaimed, so the Commission has no present power to accept applications or issue the licence the Order presupposes. Government has targeted 1 January 2027 for the remaining Parts to be operative and for licensing to begin, but no section 87 licensing regulations or fee schedule have been published.
