I was thinking last night that gambling ruins so many people's lives, and the prevalence of online gambling sites are abundant these days, it's almost impossible to ban yourself from all of them.
Some of these sites make it really hard to close your account and it's not as easy as clicking a button. On some gambling websites you even have to send in a written letter to them, which frankly I find embarrassing.
So why don't we have a national exclusion registrar where you can put your name and address along with your ID in, and it'll block you from signing up to or gambling on any websites. The same way that people can get themselves excluded from the pokies.
This should be mandatory and it wouldn't be hard to integrate this into something like mygov.
We are becoming a society of compulsive gamblers and as our kids get exposed to the plethora of disgusting gambling ads which use dirty tricks like making the volume higher or making it seem like you're not really losing anything, I fear the problem is only going to spiral out of control.
This registrar should be enforced by law just as gambling sites do have to abide to certain laws.
At the very least, it should be enforced to those on Centrelink, forgetting the idea of a basics card as it's been proven that idea doesn't work.
What do you guys think?
