We want to hear your feedback on the proposed rollout of statewide third-party exclusion in NSW hotels and clubs.
The NSW Government has committed to a package of gaming reforms, including a third-party exclusion scheme, a statewide exclusion register, and the use of facial recognition technology (FRT) in venues with gaming machines to support exclusions.
The third-party exclusion scheme aims to minimise gambling harm and prevent criminal activity by allowing family members/friends and police to apply to exclude individuals from hotels and clubs through the court system or the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA). These applications would be on the basis of significant gambling harm for family/friends or in the case of police, for criminal activity.
This initiative is designed to protect those experiencing significant gambling harm and provide law enforcement with tools to address criminal activity.
We are seeking feedback from the community and stakeholders on the proposed policy approach, and several key issues covered in the Consultation Paper.
This consultation and the key questions in the Consultation Paper are focused on third-party exclusion initiated by friends, family or gaming venues.
