IXUP Limited (ASX: IXU) has successfully launched BetStop – the National Self Exclusion Register, which is being operated by IXUP under contract to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA).
BetStop is now fully operational and available to members of the Australian public who are able to self-exclude from all licensed online and phone wagering providers in Australia by visiting betstop.gov.au.
BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register applies to all online and phone wagering providers licensed in Australia. Registration is quick and easy, via the use of a mobile phone number, email address and either an Australian driver’s licence or a Medicare card.
Members of the public wishing to self-exclude can either do so online or via telephone, with self exclusion periods ranging from a minimum of 3 month and up to a lifetime. The system is operated and maintained by IXUP.
IXUP is proud to be involved with such a positive consumer protection solution, noting that for the first time ever in Australia, consumers now have access to an independently operated system which protects many of the community’s most vulnerable,” Julian Babarczy, Chairman of IXUP, said.
“We are proud to have been instrumental in working with the ACMA on the successful launch of this safeguard, as well as the vitally important ongoing operation of the solution. I would like to thank the ACMA for their vision and professionalism in seeing this important consumer protection solution through to a reality.
“With the successful launch of the service, IXUP’s RegTech business division is now Australia’s leading provider of responsible gaming and consumer protection technology and we are excited by the opportunities we are currently pursuing both in Australia and internationally.
“IXUP also looks forward to updating shareholders soon on exciting developments in its other business divisions, with strong progress made on key commercialisation initiatives for the core IXUP secure data collaboration technology.”
