Default Re: Aussies at Carbon Poker

I thought I read that allowing other Aussies to play there broke some law.

This is correct.

It's actually illegal, as I understand it, for Aussies to play online at all. Most sites just ignore that. They might have it in their ToS, but they don't actually enforce it.

Then you don't understand it, because this is not what the law says.

You are splitting a very fine hair. Whether the person punished is you or the site, it's illegal for you to play there. In the same way, it's illegal for you to drink in a pub if you're 13. This is true whether the law says you are fined or the pub is fined.

I'm glad I could clear that English idiom up for you. If there's anything else you're struggling with, please let me know.
