Customers were waking up Monday morning to learn they can no longer access the popular XBet.com website.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on Monday ordered the nation's Internet service providers (ISPs) to block nine more offshore gambling websites it deems as illegal.
In addition to XBet, Roo Casino, GW Casino, Wager Beat, Joe Fortune, Ignition Casino, Casino Dingo, AU Slots and the slow paying Top Bet have also been blocked.
Customers should be able to access via a VPN but are urged to pull funds. It's business as usual at each of these websites with the exception of Top Bet where slow pays have continued for the past three years.
According to the ACMA, more than 79 complaints were submitted about these services.
"ACMA investigations found these services to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001," the ACMA said.
The regulator warned for Australians to withdraw any funds they have with these sites.
XBet is set to be listed among Gambling911.com's Top Branded Sites.
