Australian daily fantasy sports and wagering platform Dabble has paid over AU$1 million (US$712,940)
in penalties after an Australian regulator found it had failed to close the accounts of problem gamblers.
An investigation by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) found that Dabble Sports Pty Ltd failed to close 157 accounts belonging to customers enrolled in Australia’s self-exclusion scheme BetStop. It also found that Dabble had sent 165 self-excluded customers a total of 839 marketing messages via SMS, email and app notifications.
BetStop was set up in 2023 to allow Australians to exclude themselves from all licensed online wagering services.
