The regulator say research shows self-exclusion is helping Australians to manage their gambling behaviour.
Australia.- The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has released new survey figures that suggest that four in five people (77 per cent) who have registered for self-exclusion from online and phone wagering experience a better quality of life.
The research into user experience with BetStop found 79 per cent of registrants experienced improved mental health and 69 per cent experienced better personal relationships with family, friends and partners. Almost all (96 per cent) of registrants surveyed also said that they had either completely stopped betting on sports or racing events (81 per cent) or had decreased their betting (15 per cent).
ACMA member Carolyn Lidgerwood said that the survey and research results showed self-exclusion was helping Australians to manage their gambling behaviour. “We know online gambling causes a great deal of harm for too many in our communities. It is wonderful to see that the national self-exclusion register is having a positive impact. The stories shared with us are both moving and compelling,” she said.
She said the regulator wants to make sure everyone who uses phone or internet gambling in Australia is aware of their options for self-exclusion. “It only takes five minutes to register, and this could change your life,” she said.
More than 50,000 Australians have self-excluded since the launch of the programme in August 2023. Over 32,000 people currently have active exclusions.
ORIMA undertook the research on behalf of the ACMA. The findings will help to inform the statutory review of the NSER that is currently underway, ACMA said.
