GTA leads Australia’s first statewide cashless gaming trial

Australia’s first statewide cashless gaming trial is set to run in New South Wales with four members of the Gaming Technologies Association receiving conditional approvals.

Aristocrat, eBet, IGT and Light & Wonder have received approvals on the condition that stringent cybersecurity requirements are met.

NSW’s Independent Panel on Gaming Reform has conditionally approved 28 venues for the trial, including 20 clubs and eight hotels.

“The focus for GTA is to ensure a fair and balanced path for gaming technology in Australia,” said Jinesh Patel the CEO of GTA.

“The trial is complex and costly but we are committed to finding a path forward and working with the NSW government.

“GTA is proud to contribute to the NSW Panel and its members are committed to seeing Australia’s first statewide trial succeed.”
