I ask this question to assess the strength of feeling about the issue amongst the Choice Community and not, at this stage, to provoke a discussion on the pros and cons of the topic. There was a time when Casinos were illegal in NSW but that didn’t stop Abe Saffron from running one. The real barrier to government legislation isn’t that there will be a shortfall in government revenue, it’s the political clout of gambling capital. I’d encourage everyone to read “Power Without Glory”, if you haven’t already.

We acknowledge their connection to this Country and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Scamwatch expects criminals to try to make the most of on the holiday season through shopping and delivery scams, scratchie and prize scams, and travel and gambling scams. That sort of behaviour would be easily crosschecked and identified if someone had to top up their pokies card with the same amounts that they would usually launder. The card idea has nothing to do with problem gambling, but everything to do with combating laundering and has been put forward by the NSW Crime Commission. You seem like the type of bloke who’d ban live music because some boomers up the road don’t like the noise. Imagine the reaction if alcohol advertising occurred in apps for platfroms minors regularly used.

Just because something is illegal it doesn’t make it disappear. Prohibition didn’t work, it just funded organised crime and that money helped to establish Las Vegas.If you were to ban online gambling here punters would either use illegal bookmakers in Australia or bet on overseas sites via a VPN. They’re not just going to stop gambling.You then have the issue of what happens if someone is caught gambling online.

I just don’t do it because in the long run you will almost certainly lose because the odds are always stacked against you. It is worth noting that in some circumstances if the individual tries to inject a level of skill into the process they will be banned as this may reduce the house edge and hence profits. As an important component of this advocacy, Relationships Australia engages with a range of Parliamentary Inquiries, Royal Commissions and other government consultations.

Flex through the power of play

In a wide-ranging interview, the billionaire businessman also takes aim at the NSW casino regulator, saying it is a “one of the miracles of life” he has a job. The former Lendlease and Crown Resorts chief executive is leaving after two major shareholders, including Bally’s, took control of the embattled casino group.

Caledonia plays the market’s money machine with $200m pokies spin

Or will there be a machine in pubs/clubs, like an Opal machine where you pop your card in, put your money in and then it’s transferred onto the card? That’s not really going to stop money laundering at all. I would like to see a ban on the advertising of online gambling.

• Yeah I think the key is having on record how much cash the individual put into the machine(s) initially, which means they’d need to account for the source of that cash.
• I’d support that if a total ban is not supported.Part of the justification for the many forms of gambling is the community pay back that it supposedly supports.
• As I understand it the deciding factors for tobacco were; it has no safe level of use, it is addictive and it has a serious risk of morbidity and death.
• It is, because the card would be registered to yourself.
• On issues impacting the work of Relationships Australia and the broader sector, Relationships Australia engages in ongoing advocacy with relevant Government departments and key stakeholders at the national, state and local levels.

However, it’s not only place these ads appear – recently we’ve seen reports of gambling ads when purchasing movie tickets, and on public transport, such as trains. If you spot gambling ads in public, snap a pic or otherwise let us know in this thread. Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat player Terry Rozier have been charged over an illegal sports betting scheme and rigged poker games.

We pay respect to the Traditional Custodians and First Peoples of NSW, and acknowledge their continued connection to their country and culture. I mean, we could start taxing companies and banks effectively to replace that shortfall – but that would ultimately result in share prices dropping and mass redundancies to ensure shareholders weren’t crying over spilt milk. Honestly don’t think the cashless card system will work at all. People who want to gamble will still find a online pokies way to use it. And that the country would be better if they were illegal.
