GamStop, a nationwide self-ban system for wagering in Australia, has published its enrollment statistics for November. The platform, which empowers people to exclude themselves from all authorized betting platforms across the nation, has observed a consistent rise in sign-ups since its inception in August 2023.
Although the majority of Australian states and territories experienced a minor decrease in fresh enrollments in November, there were a few outliers. Nationally, new sign-ups declined by 4.2% relative to October. This reduction is even more noticeable when contrasted with the initial surge in August, with November’s figures down 22.9%. This implies that following the initial wave of interest, the figures are starting to level off.
However, Victoria emerged as an anomaly, registering a slight uptick of 1.4% in new enrollments compared to the preceding month.
As of November, a cumulative total of 13,608 individuals have enrolled with GamStop.
Aside from the Northern Territory, where sign-ups surged by 45% from 20 in October to 29 in November, all other areas witnessed a decrease.
Voluntary exclusion lists, enabling individuals to prohibit themselves from gaming establishments or platforms, have emerged as a vital instrument in addressing gambling addiction globally. As an illustration, Sweden’s self-ban registry, Spelpaus, has achieved the significant landmark of 100,000 enrollments.
