Registering for BetStop: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

BetStop is a single federal self-exclusion program to voluntarily block access to gambling on all licensed online marketplaces in Australia. Registration takes no more than 5-10 minutes and provides instant protection against repeated bets.

Step 1. Preparation of necessary data

Personal data: full name, date of birth, email address, mobile phone number, zip code.
Technical devices: computer or smartphone with Internet access.
Mail: work e-mail, which will receive a confirmation code.

Step 2. Go to the site and start registration

1. Open'betstop. gov. au`.
2. Click Register for Self-Exclusion.
3. Select "Online Self-Exclusion" and confirm that you are in Australia.

Step 3. Entering personal information

1. Enter last name, first name, patronymic (if any).
2. Please enter date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.
3. Enter your postal code and email address.
4. Enter your mobile phone number (+ 61...).
5. Please agree to BetStop's privacy policy and terms.

Step 4. Select exclusion period

6 months: minimum period for checking own readiness for control.
12 months: the optimal time to develop stable habits.
For life: for those who are confident in the need for a final break with excitement.
Select the appropriate option and click Next.

Step 5. Registration Confirmation

1. Wait for the code in SMS or by e-mail.
2. Enter the code in a special field on the site.
3. After validation, you will see the message: "Your self-exclusion is now active."

Step 6. Check of interlocks

Try to enter the personal account of any licensed casino or bookmaker - the system should refuse access with a BetStop notification.
Check the absence of promotional mailings: e-mail, SMS and push notifications from operators.

Combination with additional measures

Gamban/BetBlocker: Install on all devices to block offshore and unlicensed platforms.
DNS filters: configure OpenDNS FamilyShield or CleanBrowsing on the router.
Personal limits: even after BetStop, you can set up daily/monthly deposit limits for operators where you still have access (sports betting through ground points, etc.).

Conclusion

Registering with BetStop is a simple and powerful way to break the gambling cycle. Synchronization with technical barriers and professional support guarantees the stability of control. Do not delay: connect BetStop at the first sign of loss of control.
