Self-exclusion lists and their availability online
In Queensland, self-exclusion is an official measure of responsible play that allows a player to voluntarily restrict access to gambling services for a certain period or indefinitely. The system is regulated by the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) and applies to licensed operators.
1. Legislative framework
Casino Control Act 1982 and Gaming Machine Act 1991 oblige operators to provide players with self-exclusion.
The federal Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA) complements the rules by requiring responsible play tools in online services with an Australian license.
2. Types of self-exclusion
Local - exclusion from a specific casino or online platform;
Global - entry in a single register applied to all licensed operators in Queensland.
3. Online access to the system
You can apply online through the OLGR portal or the websites of licensed operators;
Proof of identity is required (passport, driver's license or digital ID);
An indication of the blocking period is available: from 3 months to an indefinite ban.
4. Obligations of operators
Immediately stop providing services to a listed player;
Block advertisements and marketing offers;
Prohibit the opening of new accounts in the player's name, including verification through verification bases.
5. Violation of self-exclusion conditions
If the operator grants access to games to a person on the list, OLGR can impose a fine of up to $50,000 AUD and suspend the license;
A player who violates his own self-exclusion through false data does not have the right to return the lost funds.
6. Limitations and risks
Self-exclusion lists apply only to Australian licensed operators;
Overseas offshore online casinos are not required to comply with Australian lists and can accept self-excluded players.
7. Final conclusion
In Queensland, self-exclusion lists are available online and allow you to quickly restrict access to gambling from licensed operators. However, they do not apply to offshore platforms, which requires additional caution from players.
