Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's gambling regulation in response to major interstate inquiries that uncovered money laundering, criminal infiltration and other integrity failures at casinos operated by Crown and Star. It strengthens casino oversight, modernises gambling laws to allow cashless payments, creates a framework for wagering on computer-simulated events, and makes it easier for national charities to fundraise in Queensland.
Betting Tax Bill 2018
This bill introduces a 15% point-of-consumption betting tax on the net wagering revenue of betting operators from bets placed by customers in Queensland. It replaces the previous point-of-supply wagering tax and aligns Queensland with similar reforms in other Australian states. The bill also removes outdated prohibitions on interstate interactive wagering.
