IXUP Limited (ASX: IXU or “the Company”), a leading provider of CSE systems for the iGaming industry, is pleased to announce the early two-year extension to its exclusive NSER contract with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). This extension, effective to 30 June 2027, is a recognition of IXUP’s successful delivery of this critical national consumer protection initiative and IXUP’s growing leadership in the responsible gaming technology sector globally. Since the commencement of operation in August 2023, the NSER has achieved a range of significant milestones: • Over 38,000 individuals have enrolled, leveraging the platform to self-exclude from online licensed wagering services across Australia. • More than 22.2 billion self-exclusion checks have been performed, ensuring real-time compliance with regulatory requirements. • The platform maintained 100% uptime, with an average response time of less than 5 milliseconds per check, exemplifying the reliability and efficiency of IXUP’s technology. • These achievements were globally recognised with the Regulatory Excellence Award at the International Regulatory Awards in Rome last year. Commenting on the contract extension, IXUP CEO, Mr. Al Watson, said: “This extension reflects the trust ACMA places in IXUP to deliver innovative, reliable, and high-performing solutions to one of Australia’s most critical consumer protection initiatives. The strong performance of BetStop – the National Self-Exclusion Register™ is a testament to the capabilities of the IXUP team and the strength and uniqueness of our technology solution.” The Board appreciates the ACMA’s support and endorsement of IXUP’s capabilities and remains optimistic about the future of the NSER and the broader growth potential of IXUP’s CSE solutions in the rapidly expanding global RegTech industry.  
Potential Future Contract Extensions
The Contract provides for additional extension periods with each extension being no less than 12 months and not greater than three years. Due to the strong delivery of the solution, IXUP believes that it will successfully achieve additional contract extensions when renewal dates arrive.  
The NSER Receives Prestigious Regulatory Award
IXUP also highlights that the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) received the Regulatory Excellence Award for the launch of the NSER at the International Regulatory Awards, which were hosted in Rome on 23 October 2024. The International Regulatory Awards are an annual awards ceremony, hosted by the International Association of Gaming Regulators, which provides a forum for gaming regulators from around the world to meet, learn best practice techniques and strategies, network, and exchange views, share information and discuss legislation, policies, and procedures. The International Regulatory Awards presented three key awards, with the launch of the NSER by the ACMA receiving the prestigious Regulatory Excellence Award. Other awards presented included the Regulatory Innovation Award and the Best Regulatory Campaign Award.  
Model Deployment of Centralised Self-Exclusion
IXUP is proud to operate the NSER system on behalf of the ACMA and continues to believe that the solution is currently the leading system of its kind and a model deployment for iGaming jurisdictions around the world currently considering this important player protection.
