BetStop Self-Exclusions Surpass 30,000; Playtech Partners with University of Nevada for Responsible Gambling

BetStop, Australia’s national gambling self-exclusion program, has seen the number of self-exclusions surpass 30,000 since its launch. The program allows individuals to self-exclude from all licensed online gambling providers in the country, highlighting the increasing demand for responsible gambling measures. The surge in participants underscores both the need and the growing public awareness of tools available to combat problem gambling. This initiative aims to help individuals take control of their gambling habits and reduce the risk of harm.

In a related effort to enhance responsible gambling, Playtech has entered into a partnership with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The collaboration focuses on responsible gambling research, aiming to better understand gambling behaviors and develop advanced tools to mitigate problem gambling. Playtech’s initiative is part of its broader strategy to work with academic institutions to foster safer gambling environments and enhance player protection mechanisms globally.
