BetStop - the National Self-Exclusion Register™ is a safe and free Australian Government initiative where consumers can block themselves from all licensed Australian online and phone gambling providers.

Consumers can register at any time. Once registered, online and phone gambling providers will not be able to allow the registered person to:

• place a bet
• open new betting accounts
• send marketing messages. 

Registered persons can nominate someone they know to support them while they are self-excluded.  They can also access information about other gambling supports that are available.
