Services › Casino and Non-Casino Gaming › Second Discussion Paper on Site Payments

The Department has been reviewing its policy and licence conditions relating to gaming machine site payments.

On 22 December 2003 we advised societies and interested parties that we intend to:

• maintain the status quo on site payments while relevant parts of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977 continue in force
• develop a site payments policy for the Gambling Act regime that comes into force on 1 July 2004.
