If you had money there, ACMA's 2020 advice to withdraw it can no longer be followed. What you can still do is below.
What we found on 5 November 2026
| What we checked | Result on 5 Nov 2026 | Earlier checks |
|---|---|---|
| jokaroom.com, with and without www | Error 522 from Australia and from Germany: Cloudflare could not reach the site's own server, so no page opened | On 12 and 17 Oct 2026 it forwarded to a third-party gambling news site |
| jokaroom.net | No server address on 5 November 2026, so nothing opens. Its registration record runs to 11 November 2026 | The Internet Archive saw jokaroom.com forward here in 2021, 2022 and 2024 (see below) |
| Landing pages using the JokaRoom name | Third-party pages titled “Login | Sign Up Australia” with a review text. They name no company and no licence number | The same kind of page on 17 Oct 2026 |
| The “Sign up” button on those pages | A redirect with an empty target: our browser stayed on it and no page opened | On 17 Oct 2026, at a single check, it led elsewhere |
| ACMA's list of blocked gambling websites (1,810 addresses) | jokaroom.net is on it. jokaroom.com and the sites using the name are not | On 17 Oct 2026 too, jokaroom.net was listed and jokaroom.com was not |
None of these addresses has a working JokaRoom login or cashier. Error 522 means the server behind the address did not answer in time. It can be temporary, so this is what we saw on one day, not proof the site is gone for good. The registration of jokaroom.com runs to February 2027, but a registered domain is not a working casino. A site missing from ACMA's list means only that it was not listed that day.
The sites using the JokaRoom name
The pages that use the JokaRoom name with “Login” are not the casino, and we found no new JokaRoom address. They are landing pages written by third parties, plus a gambling news site. We do not name or link them. These signs let you check such a page yourself:
- A licence with no owner. The landing pages we read say “Licensed by Curacao eGaming” but name no company and no licence number.
- Buttons that stay on the same site. Their “LOG IN”, “SIGN UP” and “GET BONUS” buttons go to a tracking link on the landing page's own address, not to a casino.
- A target that changes. On 5 November 2026 the “Sign up” link led nowhere, from Australia and from Germany. On 17 October 2026, at a single check, it led elsewhere. Why the target changes, we do not know.
What this means for you: anything you enter after those buttons goes to whoever runs the tracker, not to JokaRoom. The bonus figures on those pages are their own text; there is no JokaRoom casino to pay them.
ACMA's 2020 and 2025 block requests, and was it legal to play?
In both releases below, ACMA said its investigations found the listed sites, JokaRoom among them, “to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001”. For you as a player, the practical point is on ACMA's page for players: “If you use an illegal service, Australian regulators will not be able to help you if: … the service provider withholds your winnings”.
ACMA's release of 17 July 2020 lists JokaRoom among “The sites to be blocked”. It begins:
“The ACMA is set to request Australian internet service providers (ISPs) to block more illegal offshore gambling websites. We urge Australian users of these sites to withdraw their money now.”
The release names the brand, not its addresses, and does not say the casino closed.
On 14 February 2025 ACMA named JokaRoom again. It said it “has requested that Australian internet service providers (ISPs) block more illegal online gambling and affiliate-marketing websites”, and JokaRoom heads its list of “The latest sites blocked”. That list mixes casinos and affiliate sites, and it does not say which JokaRoom address was blocked. So it does not show that the casino was still running in 2025. For more on the law, see our guide to whether online casino gambling is legal in Australia.
When it stopped working
We cannot give a date, and we found no closing notice from the casino. The Internet Archive holds copies of the casino on jokaroom.com from December 2018 to July 2020. The last are from 2 and 8 July 2020, the month ACMA's release named JokaRoom. The archive's last copy is not a closing date: it shows only when the archive visited.
In December 2021, November 2022 and October 2024 the archive saw jokaroom.com forward to jokaroom.net, which in 2023–2024 was a review and affiliate site, not a casino. In 2024 a page on a jokaroom.com subdomain said: “JokaRoom is not available from your location.” Another showed a captcha, “Humans Only! Tick box below”, in copies from March 2024 to April 2025. What stood behind those pages, we do not know. Why JokaRoom stopped, and whether ACMA's requests caused it, is not established.
What JokaRoom was, and who ran it
JokaRoom was an online casino that accepted Australian dollars. We could not identify the company that ran it or a licence number. These are the site's own words in an archived copy of its FAQ of 2 July 2020:
- Currencies: “you can register an account here with the following currencies: EUR, CAD, AUD, RUB and NZD”.
- Licence: “our license allows us to only accept one account per user”. The FAQ names no regulator, company or licence number.
- Support: the FAQ gave support addresses on the casino's own domain. We did not check whether they still work.
Not finding the operator does not mean JokaRoom had no licence. The “Curacao eGaming” claim on today's landing pages is a third party's text, not a fact about JokaRoom.
If you had money in the account
- You cannot withdraw through the site. jokaroom.com did not load on 5 November 2026, and none of the sites using the name has a JokaRoom login or withdrawal form.
- ACMA's 2020 advice can no longer be followed. In July 2020 ACMA urged Australian users “to withdraw their money now”. With no working site, there is nothing to withdraw through.
- ACMA: regulators cannot help with an illegal operator. One case its page for players lists: “The illegal operator closes its services, or moves them elsewhere, and your money disappears.” Its conclusion: “Unfortunately, you are unlikely to see your money again in these situations.” This is ACMA's general advice, not a ruling on JokaRoom.
- Of the three routes ACMA names, the third does not fit. For money stuck with an overseas gambling website, ACMA lists independent legal advice, a complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and “the relevant licensing authority”. JokaRoom's FAQ mentioned “our license” but named no regulator or company. In our reading, there is no clear licensing authority to complain to.
- If you paid by card, ask your bank about a chargeback anyway. Consumer Affairs Victoria says a chargeback “reverses a transaction made on a debit or credit card”, including when “the business stops operating and does not supply the purchased product or service.” Time limits “vary from 45 to 120 days from the transaction date”. The last archived casino pages are from July 2020, so for a deposit made by then the limit passed long ago. About later deposits we have no data; only your bank can say. A chargeback may not be available if you “paid with cash, money transfer, cheque, direct debit or BPAY”.
- You can report the site to ACMA. ACMA's complaint form is for “prohibited interactive gambling services (gambling websites)”, and ACMA says “You do not have to give us your name.” It is a report about a website, not a way to get money back.
- Do not pay anyone who offers to recover it. Scamwatch, the scam-warning service run by the ACCC, says: “You won’t recover any stolen money and the scammers will just steal more money from you.” And: “Never accept offers from anyone who says they can get your money back.” Scamwatch writes about scam victims in general; applying it here is our reading.
For what ACMA and a bank can and cannot do about a complaint, see why Australia has no ombudsman for online casinos.
Where to play instead
We do not name a replacement. Recommending another casino on a page about a brand ACMA named in block requests would undercut the page. We keep a similar page for Tangiers Casino, another brand ACMA named in a block request. If you are choosing a site, start with what “safe” can mean when no online casino is licensed in Australia, or browse our casino reviews.
FAQ
Is JokaRoom Casino still open?
We found no working JokaRoom casino. On 5 November 2026 jokaroom.com gave error 522 from Australia and Germany, and jokaroom.net had no server address. A 522 can be temporary, so this is what we saw that day.
Can I still log in to JokaRoom Casino?
Not on 5 November 2026: its own address did not load. The pages titled “Login | Sign Up Australia” are third-party landing pages, and their buttons go to their own tracking links.
Is there a new JokaRoom site?
We found none, and no notice from the casino of a new address. The landing pages that use the name give no company or licence number.
Does the JokaRoom sign-up bonus still work?
There is no JokaRoom casino to credit it. The bonus figures on landing pages are those sites' own text, and on 5 November 2026 their “Sign up” link led nowhere.
Was JokaRoom blocked in Australia?
Yes, according to ACMA. It said on 17 July 2020 it would ask Australian internet providers to block JokaRoom. On 14 February 2025 it listed JokaRoom among “The latest sites blocked”. On 5 November 2026 jokaroom.net is on ACMA's list of blocked websites.
Can I get my JokaRoom balance back?
Not through the site: there is no login or cashier. ACMA says that when an illegal operator closes, “you are unlikely to see your money again”. If you paid by card, ask your bank about a chargeback, though the 45 to 120 day limit for a deposit made by July 2020 passed long ago.
Who ran JokaRoom, and was it licensed?
We could not identify the company or a licence number. Its 2020 FAQ mentioned “our license” without naming a regulator or company.
