Regarding the panel recommendations:
It is important to note Recommendation 1.1 on account-based gaming is:
“… subject to the NSW Government completing additional analysis regarding impact on industry such as revenue and employment with appropriate considerations for regional areas and border towns….”
This is vital work, consistent with the Terms of Reference issued in 2023 to the Executive of the Panel.
Also, the trial’s research report consisted of a survey of only 2 players – we question its credibility.
The AHA NSW looks forward to continuing to work with the NSW Government.
