Kids allowed to gamble on pokie machines
The VGCCC charged Tabcorp and eight gambling venues for letting minors play pokies. Tabcorp faces 54 charges, including minors accessing gaming areas and lack of supervision. The venues allowed minors to gamble on 27 occasions between September 8th and November 1st, 2022. Potential fines for operators could exceed AU$1 million, with Tabcorp facing a max fine of AU$698,997. VGCCC CEO Annette Kimmitt emphasized the seriousness of preventing minors from gambling, and the charges resulted from a public complaint. The cases will go to court. Australia has the world's highest per-person gambling losses, averaging AU$1870 annually per gambler.
