Australia Launches Nationwide Self-Exclusion Register for Online Gamblers

Australia’s looking to curtail what it believes is a major issue with online gambling in the country. In a step toward better responsible gaming, and perhaps nationwide regulations, a new self-exclusion register will soon come online.

BetStop is being billed as an innovative solution to address the issue of gambling addiction, replacing a collection of state-led initiatives. Starting on August 21, the central government will unveil its comprehensive and free register, enabling individuals battling gambling addiction to register voluntarily.

The individuals will have the option of excluding themselves from online betting platforms for various durations, ranging from a minimum of three months to an indefinite period. Once listed, the exclusion will apply to all forms of online gaming.
