Rockstar blocks GTA Online casino for Australian players

Rockstar has disabled access to the Diamond Casino in GTA Online for users connecting from Australian IP addresses. Players who try to enter the casino report that gambling-style features are unavailable.

The restriction covers the casino area and its minigames, including virtual roulette and slot machines that use in-game currency and prizes. Other GTA Online modes and services remain accessible to affected players.

Rockstar has not provided an official explanation for the change and did not respond to requests for comment. There is no indication of a wider suspension of GTA Online services for Australian users.

Australia enforces laws and regulations for online gambling and has reviewed gambling-like mechanics in video games, such as loot boxes and chance-based systems. Developers have previously adjusted features or limited access in some regions for legal or compliance reasons.

Until Rockstar issues an update, players in Australia will be unable to access casino-specific activities. Users seeking more information should monitor Rockstar’s official channels for any announcements or server-side changes.
