Self-exclusion and blocks
BetStop is the Australian Government’s free National Self-Exclusion Register for licensed Australian online and phone wagering providers. Its scope is licensed wagering; it does not make an offshore casino legal or guarantee that an unlicensed service participates.
Combine exclusion with device-blocking software, bank gambling blocks, unsubscribing from marketing and removing stored payment methods. Ask a trusted person to help keep the boundary in place.
Signs to act now
- Depositing to recover a previous loss.
- Hiding time or money spent.
- Borrowing, delaying bills or using credit.
- Feeling unable to stop at a planned boundary.
- Gambling to escape distress.
You do not need to wait for a crisis. Close the session, contact support and place distance between you and the payment method.
