Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements reforms across gambling, wagering and charitable fundraising sectors following casino integrity failures in other states. It strengthens casino regulation with new duties and penalties up to $50 million, modernises gambling laws for cashless payments, allows betting on simulated racing events at retail outlets, extends New Year's Eve gaming hours, and lets nationally-registered charities fundraise in Queensland without separate state approval.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found The Star Entertainment Group's casinos were facilitating money laundering, had deficient anti-money laundering programs, and encouraged people banned by interstate police to gamble in Queensland. It introduces mandatory identity-verified player cards, cash transaction limits, compulsory gambling limits, and requires exclusion of anyone banned by an interstate police commissioner.
