IAG MAY 2022年5月 亞博匯 38 On main gaming floors, casinos in NSW and Victoria will need to move to cashless gaming as part of recommendations aimed at enhancing both AML and responsible gaming controls. In March 2021, ILGA announced that it had reached agreements with both Star and Crown to transition towards cashless gaming via cashless card technology linked to each individual’s identity and to a recognized financial institution. “The onus there is being able to trace where the money is coming from,” said ILGA Chairman Philip Crawford at the time. “It is very consistent with the KYC technology and regulations that our banks operate under.” In Melbourne, plans are underway for carded play to be compulsory for all gaming at Crown Melbourne, while cash will be phased out for all transactions exceeding $1,000. To what extent this will impact operators remains to be seen, although industry experts suggest some short-term pain could result in long-term gain. COVER STORY Green解釋稱：「我認為基於佣金 的博彩模式存在真正的問題。」 「目前在新州及維州，可以向非居 民提供以佣金為基礎的玩樂模式，也有 可能在中國以外的地區尋找玩家。類似 阿德萊德等地的小賭場多年來一直都在 吸引來自馬來西亞和泰國等地的玩家， 但這些是否能夠提供維持該業務所需要 的規模及數量，尚有疑問。」 「需謹記，這是業務不穩定的一 端。除非有一個非常可觀的、基於佣金 模式的基礎，否則如果不能嚴格控制賭 枱發展，發生災難性損失的機率會大很 多。」 「因此，我對這部分業務一點也不 樂觀。是的，會有人參與佣金模式，但 真正的高端業務將會離開澳洲。」
