What ACMA’s quarterly reports show
Every quarter ACMA publishes a report that lists the websites it asked internet providers to block. In the reports we could read, Royal Reels addresses appear like this (counts and number ranges only):
| Quarter | Royal Reels addresses added | All sites ACMA blocked that quarter | Label |
|---|
| Jul–Sep 2023 | 2: the original main domain and number 1 | 49 | Verified |
| Oct–Dec 2023 | 1: number 2 | 58 | Verified |
| Jan–Mar 2024 | 1: number 3 | 52 | Verified |
| Apr–Jun 2024 | 1: number 4 | 50 | Verified |
| Jul–Sep 2024 | Report could not be read | Not known | Unclear |
| Oct–Dec 2024 | Report could not be read | Not known | Unclear |
| Jan–Mar 2025 | 4: numbers 7, 8, 9 and 12 | 61 | Verified |
| Apr–Jun 2025 | Report could not be read | Not known | Unclear |
| Jul–Sep 2025 | 2: numbers 16 and 17, plus one hyphenated variant (owner unverified) | 71 | Verified |
| Oct–Dec 2025 | Report could not be read | Not known | Unclear |
| Jan–Mar 2026 | 2: numbers 20 and 21 | 109 | Verified |
| Apr–Jun 2026 | 1: number 22 | 187 | Verified |
Total in the reports we read: 14 Royal Reels addresses plus one hyphenated variant (checked 16 Oct 2026). The numbers are not continuous. The missing ones may be in the four reports we could not read, or may never have been used; we don’t know. The Jan–Mar 2026 list also includes a lookalike name built from the brand, whose link to the operator is unverified. Apr–Jun 2026 is the latest report we have read, so the table stops there.
Once an address is on ACMA’s list, people on Australian networks get a block page instead of the site. That is why numbered names keep showing up in searches, and why blocks make up much of our record of dated outages and blocks. How the block works is explained on the ACMA block page.
