The report found increased harm among those that gamble late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Australia.- The NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (ILGA)<\/strong> has issued a statement in favour of a report entitled Impact of Electronic Gaming Machine Late Night Play on EGM Player Behaviours. The report, funded by the New South Wales government\u2019s Responsible Gambling Fund, found late-night gaming on electronic gaming machines<\/a>\u00a0to be linked to increased spending, risk-taking and problem gambling,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ILGA chairperson Caroline Lamb <\/strong>expressed concerns about the impact of gaming during late-night and early-morning hours on individuals, families, and communities and said the ILGA intends to use the study’s findings for future decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pointed out that the ILGA has already implemented several measures to address these concerns: \u201cWe have developed Guideline 16 to help gaming venues reduce gambling harm after midnight and foster the responsible conduct of gambling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis includes a preference that all gaming-related applications are required to be accompanied by a Gaming Plan of Management that contains a raft of measures designed to support licensees to minimise gambling relating harm in venues.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cILGA also imposes licence conditions on gaming-related applications to mitigate the risk of gambling-related harm.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study reveals an increase in gambling harm among those engaged in poker machine gambling during late evening and early morning hours. It found nearly two-thirds playing between 2am and 8am experienced negative consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, it was also reported the NSW government is to deliver on a campaign promise to introduce a ban on gambling-related signage<\/a> in pubs and clubs in the state. Premier Chris Minns will require all external signs related to gambling to be removed or modified by September 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
