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.
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.
