BetStop: what the register covers, and why these sites are outside it

Disclosure: The site may receive a commission if a reader uses its link to sign up at an operator. Information comes from operator documents regardless of commissions — see our editorial policy.

BetStop is the Australian Government's national self-exclusion register for licensed online and phone gambling providers. None of the sites covered on this site holds an Australian licence, so a BetStop registration gives no protection against them: if you have registered with BetStop or are trying to stop, these sites are not for you. Gambling Help Online is on 1800 858 858.

What the source itself publishes

BetStop - the National Self-Exclusion Registerâ„¢ is a safe and free Australian Government initiative to block yourself from all licensed Australian online and phone gambling providers.

This clause means that you can use BetStop to block yourself from all licensed Australian online and phone gambling providers. It is described as a safe and free initiative by the Australian Government. Using BetStop does not cost you anything according to this statement.

You can nominate someone you know to support you while you are self-excluded. You can also access information about other gambling supports that are available.

You may choose a person to support you while you are self-excluded. You can also get information about other gambling support options. This gives you access to assistance during your self-exclusion period.

Whether you are registered with BetStop - the National Self-Exclusion Register or still considering it, there are many other supports available if you want to take control of your gambling.

If you are registered with BetStop or thinking about joining, there are additional types of support you can use to help manage your gambling. This means you have access to more than one option for assistance.

What the Act says

The offence for an unlicensed regulated service

(1) A person commits an offence if: (a) the person intentionally provides a particular kind of regulated interactive gambling service; and (b) the service has an Australian-customer link (see section 8); and (c) the person does not hold a licence (however described) under a law of a State or Territory that authorises the provision of that kind of service in the State or Territory.

Section 15AA of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, compilation in force on 14 October 2024, on legislation.gov.au, pulled 7 September 2026.

Which licence each of the 10 sites names

6 of the 10 sites bring a licence number into our table, and not one of those licences is Australian: a register that binds licensed Australian providers does not reach them.

What this does not settle

This page quotes the register's own description and the Act, and it is not advice about self-exclusion; the register's own page is where that advice sits.

Licence status in Australia

None of the sites on this page about the BetStop register names an Australian licence; each is an offshore operator as far as Australian law is concerned. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and the ACMA's powers under it are quoted on our law page. Amounts are quoted as each operator prints them; nothing is converted to A$.
