Yeah that what I exected too, if there was a warning, until
bundy5 pointed out the possibility they might not.
I don't know how many times it has to be repeated ITT, but the government isn't
going to ban online poker. The provision of online poker by outside companies
is already banned. That's probably why Will Hill pulled out.
Don't know why we should assume more effective enforcement of the exisiting ban will necessarily be preceded by a warning.

Well, AP, UB and FTP just took players' money, so why wouldn't others?It is even possible they didn't set out to take players' money, but rather just followed such poor processes that they didn't have the money once the payment processors were hit.

Also the bit about the payment processors in australia getting frozen, this would have nothing to do with online e wallets such as skrill and neteller ?
Obv. the Aus. player pool is much smaller so the risk is less. That doesn't make the risk non-existent.
IDK enough about how skrill and neteller operate in Australia, but I wouldn't assume the government would be powerless to stop their online-gambling-related transactions.
