Mandatory carded play trial comes into effect
In September, the state government mandated the start of a carded play trial, requiring players to use a YourPlay card and set personal loss limits before operating EGMs at 43 gaming venues in Monash, Greater Dandenong, and Ballarat participating in a three-month initiative.
The trial had initially been slated for mid-2025 but was pushed back following the passage of the Gambling Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 in May.
