Since 2019 she has written about what the *Interactive Gambling Act 2001* prohibits, how the ACMA deals with illegal offshore websites and what BetStop does and does not cover. She also checks the sections on licences and player protection in BonusOut's reviews. Her guides give general information and are not legal advice.
