A cash cap of $1000 every 24 hours will also be introduced to tackle money laundering at the casino and those who gamble more than that will need to use casino-issued cards.
“Some of the strongest protections in the world will now be in place at Melbourne’s Crown casino – including mandatory pre-commitment,” Minister for Consumer Affairs,Gaming and Liquor Regulation Melissa Horne said.
The mandatory pre-commitment requirements forcing people to put a limit on how much they’re prepared to lose will need to be in place by the end of 2023.
However,the full reforms must be introduced at the casino by no later than December 2025.
This is to allow for the development of technology that does not currently exist,according to the government.
The remaining nine recommendations made by the royal commission will implement them over the next year using additional legislation,directions and administrative mechanisms.
