The anti-gambling campaigner Nick Xenophon has chastised the Australian Federal Police for dragging its feet on enforcing laws which prohibit online casino sites from accepting bets from Australians.

As revealed in the Herald yesterday, Australians have long used sites such as PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker even though the Interactive Gambling Act prohibits the provision of ''an interactive gambling service to customers in Australia''. The AFP is now investigating at the request of the FBI.

The sites use Australian bank accounts to accept about $1 billion a year from an estimated 700,000 Australians and at least one, PokerStars, has an office in Sydney. Despite the sites openly flouting the law and bypassing advertising bans by sponsoring NRL teams and poker nights, police have yet to act and levy the $1.1 million a day fines outlined in the legislation.

Senator Xenophon said that following revelations in the Herald the Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform inquiry would be expanded to include online casino sites. He said it was ''very disturbing'' that the AFP was not enforcing the law and the FBI and the AFP would be invited to make submissions to the inquiry.
