The ACT Government has introduced a comprehensive reform package aimed at reducing gambling harm, including banning cash withdrawals at poker machine venues, mandating account-based cashless gaming, cutting poker machine hours, and reducing machine authorisations to 1,000 by 2045.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to rethink business models reliant on poker machine revenue as ACT’s strict gambling rules block cash access and cut machine numbers aggressively. This is your moment to explore alternative income streams and partner with clubs adjusting to these curbs.
