Starting January 1, 2027, Australians get a powerful new tool to stop gambling ads online — a national opt-out register inspired by the Do Not Call list. After ditching the messy plan of individual website opt-outs, the government’s centralized system lets users block all gambling ads with one click. Communications Minister Anika Wells backs it, linking it to the successful BetStop program, though tech experts worry about data security. Still, the law is now in place: non-compliant sites face massive fines — up to $364K for individuals and $1.82M for corporations — with the full register launching within 12 months. In the meantime, a “triple lock” system kicks in on Jan 1, 2027, requiring platforms to verify users are over 18, logged in, and offer an opt-out option.
