What is the Bet Stop and How does Bet Stop – the National Self-Exclusion Register™ work? 

 Bet Stop – the National Self-Exclusion Register™ is a safe and free Australian Government initiative to block yourself from all licensed Australian online and phone gambling providers in a single process.

You can register at any time and you may self-exclude for a period you choose, from a minimum of three months up to a lifetime.

An account is created for users when they register and they are added to the register to self-excluded individuals. To ensure the accuracy of data in the matching service, each registered individual must have their identity verified before they are added to the register.

The matching service allows wagering providers to query the register to determine whether their customers are self-excluded.

Wagering providers can query the register through the API. Wagering providers need to log into their  account to obtain an API key and whitelist their IP address/es to query the register.

What needs to be done in order for Bet Stop compliant?

Once customer register, online and phone gambling providers will not be able to:

Providers should also close any accounts you have and refund any credit to you.
