Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023

This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, anti-money laundering failures, and links to organised crime at Star Entertainment Group's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cash transaction limits, binding gambling pre-commitment systems, a new supervision levy, five-yearly suitability reviews, and strengthened powers to exclude persons banned from interstate casinos.
