Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill to provide that the Governor-General may, by Order in Council made on the recommendation of the Minister, make regulations for the purposes of prescribing the use of player tracking or other harm-minimisation devices, technology, or systems in or associated with gaming machines.
This Supplementary Order Paper also requires all class 4 gambling operators and casinos to use player tracking devices, pre-commitment cards, or other devices designed to permit responsible gambling and maximise player knowledge about, and control over, their gambling, or minimise gambling-related harm originating at the venue. A similar provision was included in the Bill as introduced but the Commerce Committee recommended the provisions’ deletion.
