In NSW, compliance with gaming regulations is crucial not only for legal adherence but also for maintaining the integrity and reputation of your venue. By 1st September 2024, all venues with gaming machines must implement a Gaming Plan of Management (GPOM) to detail their responsible conduct of gambling (RCG) obligations and proactive measures. Independent gaming audits ensure your GPOM is being implemented properly, ensuring compliance.
Covert Audits: These discreet assessments during peak trading times provide unbiased insights into operational compliance, helping pre-empt potential issues that could arise when senior management is not present. Covert audits offer a real-time evaluation of your venue’s adherence to the GPOM and RCG obligations under typical operating conditions.
Overt Audits: Conducted with designated managers, these audits involve a thorough review of current practices, identification of compliance gaps, and tailored recommendations for ensuring your venue meets regulatory standards effectively. This proactive approach enhances staff accountability and operational transparency.
Benefits of Regular Audits:
- Ensure Compliance: Regular audits confirm alignment with regulatory standards, mitigating the risk of penalties and ensuring lawful operations.
- Enhance Reputation: Demonstrating a commitment to responsible gaming practices enhances trust and credibility within the community, attracting patrons who prioritise a safe gaming environment and a business that uphold best practices.
- Improve Efficiency: Addressing compliance gaps streamlines operations, ensuring smoother and more efficient gaming management and reduces the likelihood of operational disruptions.
