Australia.- BetStop<\/strong> received 13,608 registrants between August and November<\/strong>. The nationwide self-exclusion register, which was launched in August<\/a>, enables people to voluntarily exclude themselves from all online gambling platforms across every state and territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to authorities, the vast majority of those who have chosen to self-exclude are under 40 years of age<\/strong>. The most common registration period selected is for a lifetime, followed by three months to two years. Some 4,124 people from New South Wales have registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BetStop covers all licensed Australian interactive wagering service providers, both online and telephone-based. Providers are prohibited from opening accounts or accepting bets for self-excluded people and from sending them promotional material. Providers are obligated to promote BetStop on their websites, apps and marketing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Registrants can opt for self-exclusion periods ranging from a minimum of three months to life via a single free-of-charge registration. Those already on state or territory self-exclusion registers are not automatically transferred to the national replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
