BetStop<\/a>. The nationwide self-exclusion register enables people to voluntarily exclude themselves from all online gambling platforms across every state and territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBetStop encompasses all licensed Australian interactive wagering service providers, spanning both online and telephone-based platforms. Providers are prohibited from opening accounts or accepting bets for self-excluded people and from sending them promotional material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australians can opt for self-exclusion periods ranging from a minimum of three months to a lifetime via a single free-of-charge registration.\u00a0Those already enlisted in state or territory self-exclusion registers will not be automatically transferred to the national replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aagering service providers are mandated to promote the self-exclusion register across their websites, apps, and customer communications. A comprehensive public awareness campaign, managed by the ACMA is also set to raise awareness and visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government will require wagering service providers to\u00a0verify a customer’s identity before they can open an account or place a bet<\/strong>. The existing requirement to verify a customer’s identity within 72 hours will be removed. This requirement is expected to be in place by the end of September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ACMA\u2019s self-exclusion register for online gambling launched today (August 21).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":10910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has launched BetStop, a national self-exclusion register for online and telephone wagering services.
