Yeah, Stunna stated that Australians won't be able to register.

Due to regulatory laws and legal advice, Primedice 3 will not be allowing Australian users to register.

Sorry to all those who this affects.

However, I'm not sure if you can use a VPN/proxy and register and then play from there. I think it would work - but I personally haven't tried it.

The VPN/Proxy idea will work if the server is based in a different permitted country.
A london based server for example would work.

Is it related to the new tax guidelines in Australia?

Did the PrimeDice page say that? or did it redirect or something?

Yes, I am from Australia, I also get the same problem. This problem only occurred in last week, when the site went offline. once it went online, the problem occurred.

However, with existing account, you can still log in.

That might just be temporary to remove existing funds.

We shall see.

Most likely in Australia there is some kind of monitoring system in place. If any Aussie customers will be playing Primedice would be in breach of the local licensing laws.

I don't understand how this could be put into law, bitcoin gambling sites doesn't need any regulations and laws, or some do?

They do.  It was the reason why Just-Dice had been put to a stop [temporarily].
Governments will always try and regulate something as crazy as bitcoin Cheesy

Little bit funny since the owner is from there, surprised that the law there prevents playing in such game but not owning one?
