A problem gambler has found a loophole in the Federal Government’s self-exclusion scheme ‘BetStop’. The flaw allowed the Sydney man to lose nearly $70,000 dollars despite signing up to a lifetime gambling ban. The problem gambler lost the money to eight online betting agencies during six months, and has told AM he wants the loopholes closed and the bookmakers fined. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is now investigating certain betting agencies over allegations of non-compliance with BetStop.
