The nationwide self-ban platform for wagering in Australia, BetStop, has published its figures for November, revealing a minor decline in enrollments throughout most regions.
Operational since August 2023, BetStop has recorded over 13,600 citizens registering to restrict their access to all authorized betting platforms. November did witness a slight reduction in fresh registrations compared to October (2,991 versus 3,121), yet Victoria actually encountered a small uptick. This implies that following an initial wave of enrollments, the figures might be beginning to level off.
Aside from a rise in the Northern Territory, registrations for self-exclusion from wagering have decreased throughout Australia. The Northern Territory experienced a 45% jump, going from 20 sign-ups in October to 29 in November. Worldwide, self-exclusion is a vital resource for individuals struggling with gambling. Sweden’s initiative, Spelpaus, states that over 100,000 individuals have enrolled.
