Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications
The Minister for Communications has appointed Mr Richard Eccles to lead the first statutory review of BetStop – the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Self-Exclusion Register.
Implemented by the Australian Communications and Media Authority, BetStop covers all Australian licensed interactive wagering service providers, prohibiting them from opening a new account or accepting bets from self‑excluded individuals, or sending them marketing material. Wagering providers are also required to close existing betting accounts for registered individuals.
Wagering has been identified to cause financial harm and impacts to relationships, physical health, mental health, and work performance.
