Under this system, players would create accounts linked to cards or digital wallets, with limited cash use allowed under strict controls.<\/p>\n<p>The panel, led by former NSW Liquor, Gaming, and Racing Commissioner Michael Foggo, consisted of 16 members, including industry representatives, law enforcement officials, and cybersecurity experts. The recommendations were informed by a six-month cashless gaming trial conducted in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis has been challenging and complex work,\u201d<\/em> Foggo noted. <em>\u201cI thank each of the panel\u2019s 16 members for their time, expertise, and enthusiasm over the 16 months of the panel\u2019s work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the trial involved 243 participants, only 14 engaged for more than two days.
