How will the enforcement of a zero tolerance policy on venues allowing excluded persons to gamble assist in minimising the harm from gambling?
The enforcement of a zero tolerance policy will reinforce the Government’s commitment to those people who have a gambling problem. It will also send a clear message to venues, that assisting excluded patrons is a requirement of their holding a gaming licence. Additionally, all venues with gaming machines will now be required to correlate their database of excluded patrons with their promotions and rewards databases. This is to ensure that excluded persons do not receive advertising and promotional material from the gaming venue.
