  • In short: One of the first cashless gaming trials in NSW found the technology made little difference to the behaviour of gamblers.
  • The Wests New Lambton trial has received criticism from gambling reform advocates, who say it did not include a card with binding and default limits.
  • What's next?: The Independent Panel on Gaming Reform will provide findings from an expanded statewide cashless gaming trial.

Germany actually has a similar approach with the gambling agency.

It actually tries to set rules that protect gamblers (no loans, no advertising, no parallel games, regulated user accounts) and limits the kinds of games available.

Proceeds from gambling don't have to be non-profit, though. So gambling is still lucrative for casinos with a license. Or the states with their state run lottery.
