When betting doesn’t stop: Dabble and BetStop
1 October 2026

If you’ve taken the step to shut yourself out of online gambling, you’d expect betting companies to respect that decision. So what happens when they don’t?

Hayder Shkara from Justice Network joins Cheralyn Darcey on The Nightline to discuss Dabble’s failure to close 157 accounts belonging to people registered with BetStop, Australia’s national gambling self-exclusion register. After an ACMA investigation resulted in more than $1 million in penalties, we explore what this means for people seeking protection and the companies responsible for honouring it.
