Rhys Edward Jones provided prohibited online gambling services to Australians from March 2020 to March 2021. Diverse Link Pty Ltd provided those services from 2021 to the present. Brenton Lee Buttigieg was involved in promoting and referring customers to those products.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has commenced civil penalty proceedings in the Federal Court. The action follows a detailed ACMA investigation into the prohibited online gambling services. The maximum penalties payable by an individual is up to $1.665 million per contravention and five times that amount for companies. For the alleged contraventions, the maximum penalty is $5 million.
