Church Leaders have welcomed the report of the trial of cashless gambling which recommends that ‘account based gambling’ be introduced in New South Wales by 2028.

There are bigger problems with gambling in Sydney and New South Wales than pretty much anywhere in the world (outside Las Vegas).

But the Clubs and Hotels industry is running a narrative attempting to discredit the trial, calling it a three million dollar waste of money.

Senior Minister of Sydney’s Wesley Mission Stu Cameron was the church representative on the inquiry panel and says while the outcome is welcome, it’s now up to the government, ‘the devil will be in the details’ and we need to keep the pressure on.
