Senator David Leyonhjelm has been assured by Communications Minister Mitch Fifield that he has instructed his Department to undertake some preliminary work examining the feasibility of Australian onshore providers obtaining licences to operate online poker.
Sounds like it will only be open to Australian operations - i.e. no Pokerstars, 888, Partypoker or any other globally significant provider. Any proposed amendment that does not open the door to a return to the Pokerstars global player pool is virtually useless for myself and the vast majority of players. We are probably serviced better by Ignition, ACR and other grey-market sites already.
Not having a pop at anybody because it's clearly good news that an amendment is being considered, but let's be realistic.
