The Australian government will launch a national self-exclusion register to help people break away from gambling addiction following an alarming report on online gambling risk in the country.

From Aug. 21, Australians can access BetStop, a free service that allows people to voluntarily exclude themselves from all licensed online betting companies nationwide.
