Other GTA Online modes and services remain accessible to affected players.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until Rockstar issues an update, players in Australia will be unable to access casino-specific activities.
