Viggoslots is blocked in Australia. ACMA, the federal regulator, named it on 18 November 2020 among the illegal offshore gambling sites it had asked Australian internet providers to block, and viggoslots.com is on ACMA’s published blocked list (checked 16 October 2026). We no longer recommend Viggoslots to anyone in Australia. This review now covers what happened, what it means if you still have an account, and where to find casinos we review that do accept Australians.

Time for a straight answer, Bros. Our old Viggoslots review did warn that players reported bad experiences, but still listed it. That no longer holds for anyone in Australia, so we have removed the rating and our links and rewritten the page around what the regulator has published.

If you are looking for somewhere else to play, the casinos in the box above accepted Australians and were clear of ACMA’s list when we rechecked them in October 2026. They are offshore, so the usual cautions apply. Gambling Help Online is on 1800 858 858, 24/7, if you need to talk to someone.

Why ACMA Blocked Viggoslots

Australia does not license online casinos. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA), offering online casino games or online pokies to people in Australia is an offence for the operator, and advertising them is banned as well. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) enforces the Act, and one of its main tools is website blocking: it asks Australian internet providers to block sites it has found in breach. ACMA reported 1,822 sites blocked since November 2019, as of 24 September 2026.

Viggoslots was part of the batch ACMA announced on 18 November 2020. The block is not new: it dates back to November 2020, and our review should have caught up with it long before now.

Why the Site May Still Open for You

ACMA’s blocks are applied by each internet provider against specific addresses, and offshore casinos rotate between mirror domains, so a blocked brand can still open on some connections. That tells you nothing about whether it is allowed to serve you. It is not, and the risks below apply either way.

Do not use a VPN to get around a block or a casino’s country rules. Offshore casino terms routinely treat a disguised location as a breach and let the casino keep any winnings and close the account.

If You Already Play at Viggoslots

If you joined before the block, the aim is simple: stop the money going in, get any balance out, and keep a paper trail in case something goes wrong.

  1. Stop depositing. Any new deposit adds to the amount at risk, so switch off saved cards and auto top-ups too.
  2. Take screenshots of your balance, pending withdrawals, bonus status and transaction history, with dates.
  3. Deal with any active bonus. Bonus money usually locks your balance until wagering is complete. If you only want your cash, ask support in writing to cancel the bonus first.
  4. Get verification done early. Offshore casinos hold payouts until ID, address and payment checks clear, so upload clear copies once and keep a record of when you sent them.
  5. Mind the withdrawal caps. Check the daily, weekly and monthly limits in the cashier or terms before you request a large amount, because a big balance may come out in instalments.
  6. Put the request in writing. Use live chat or email rather than phone, and save the transcripts.
  7. Know the dispute route. No Australian regulator, ombudsman or tribunal can order an offshore casino to pay. Our old review named a licence from Curaçao; if the casino still shows a licence in its footer, that regulator’s complaints process is the only formal route left. If you paid by card, ask your bank about its dispute process, but do not expect a chargeback to succeed on gambling losses you authorised.

If chasing a balance is affecting your sleep, money or relationships, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, covers licensed Australian wagering providers only, so ask Viggoslots support to close your account as well.

Our Old Viggoslots Review, Corrected

For anyone comparing notes, these are the main points our previous Viggoslots review made. They are recorded here as old claims; we have not rechecked them against Viggoslots’s current pages, and they do not change its status.

  • Operator: Mountberg B.V.
  • Licence: Curaçao
  • Launched: 2017
  • Verdict: Did warn that players reported bad experiences, but still listed it

Its own text called one of the bonus offers “beyond and above lame”. The licence point is the one that needs correcting. A licence from Curaçao lets a casino operate under that jurisdiction’s rules; it does not allow it to offer online casino games to people in Australia, and ACMA’s block applies whatever licence the casino holds.

Where to Look Instead

A casino now reaches our Australian list only if all of these hold on the day we check:

  1. None of its domains is on ACMA’s published blocked-websites list.
  2. The brand is not named in any of ACMA’s blocking releases.
  3. Its Australian lobby loads from an Australian connection and Australia is not on its restricted-country list.
  4. There is no “confirm you are outside Australia” declaration or similar trap in its pages.

OscarSpin, Nine Casino, Jet4Bet and Goldex passed those checks in October 2026. They are offshore with no Australian licence, so read the full reviews and terms first. Our safer casino guide covers the warning signs, and the Australian reviews hub shows the status of every brand we have rechecked.

Viggoslots FAQ

Is Viggoslots blocked in Australia?

Yes. ACMA named Viggoslots in its media release of 18 November 2020, and its domain is on the published blocked list (checked 16 October 2026).

Is it illegal for me to play at Viggoslots?

The IGA offence belongs to the operator, not the player. But you have no Australian regulator to help in a dispute, access can disappear at any time, and the casino’s own terms may let it void winnings if you are in a restricted location.

How do I withdraw my money from Viggoslots?

Stop depositing, screenshot your balance, cancel any active bonus, complete verification and request the withdrawal in writing, keeping within the cashier limits. Save every support transcript.

Is Viggoslots licensed?

Our old review gave the licence as Curaçao, with the operator named as Mountberg B.V.. We have not rechecked that for this update, and no offshore licence makes online casino games legal to offer in Australia.

Which casinos can I use instead of Viggoslots?

OscarSpin, Nine Casino, Jet4Bet and Goldex accepted Australians and were not blocked or named by ACMA when we checked in October 2026. All are offshore with no Australian licence, so read their reviews and terms first.
