Self-exclusion from a sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator
BetStop - the National Self-Exclusion Register™ is now live
The new national self-exclusion register is now available at BetStop.
It will let you exclude yourself from all licensed online and phone betting services in one step.
Registering is quick and easy. All you need are your details, a mobile phone number, email address and either an Australian driver's licence or Medicare card.
If you're already self-excluded in the Northern Territory (NT), it will not transfer to BetStop.
If you want to stop yourself from gambling with an NT sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator, you can apply for self-exclusion.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary process for people who want to stop gambling for a period of time.
You may decide to self-exclude if you think you are spending too much time or money on gambling.
You can do this through a self-exclusion notice. The notice lets you:
- nominate one or more gambling operators
- choose how long you want to self-exclude for - months, years or permanently.
How to apply
To apply, follow these steps:
Step 1. Read the conditions
You must read the conditions of the self-exclusion notice.
By completing and submitting a self-exclusion notice, you agree:
- to be excluded from betting with a nominated sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator licensed in the NT
- to not bet or attempt to bet with your nominated sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator, including through:
- websites
- mobile apps or
- a phone
- that your nominated sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator may restrict your access to accounts, their websites, mobile apps and phone betting facilities
- that if you apply for permanent exclusion, the sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator may close your account
- that the notice, including your personal details and the exclusion period, may be:
- provided to the nominated sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator and
- placed on the responsible gambling incident register held by those sports bookmakers or betting exchange operators
- that if you apply to be excluded from all sports bookmakers and betting exchange operators in the NT, the notice will be provided to any new licensed sports bookmakers or betting exchange operators
- that it is not the role or responsibility of the Racing and Wagering Commission or Licensing NT to exclude people from gambling
- that your exclusion from using the gambling products and services of the nominated sports bookmaker or betting exchange operator is:
- voluntary and
- you are responsible for following the rules specified in the notice.
You have the right to seek independent, legal or other professional advice before signing the notice.
To find out more, read the gambling code of practice.
