The national self-exclusion register will launch on August 21 and comes five years after a law broaching the concept was introduced back in 2018. The idea behind this new solution is to significantly strengthen individual states’ laggard response to a lack of proper self-exclusion programs by ensuring that the national scheme supersedes them and delivers stronger protection to consumers in the first place.
Championed under the stint of Paul Fletcher, the then communications minister, BetStop is designed to indeed help protect consumers. Fletcher was a passionate proponent of the measure and said that it would prove an efficient way to actually save lives. BetStop itself would cover 75 online bookmakers – or thereabouts – gathering all licensed operators in the state.
Rowland has hailed the pending rollout of the solution as an important “game changer” for the entire gambling industry, and importantly – for vulnerable consumers who need help. BetStop is the last of ten measures introduced by the National Consumer Protection Framework and it is one of the most impactful solutions to date, Rowland said.
BetStop has also been the object of some criticism by regulators in the country, but this has now improved.
