This document outlines the details of the New South Wales government's 2024 decision to require hotels and registered clubs with more than 20 gaming machines to have a responsible gambling officer. The officers will have advanced training in the 'responsible conduct of gambling'. Venues are also required to maintain an incident register of potential or actual incidents of harm. These additional requirements reflect the increased risk of gambling harm from gambling machines. The introduction of responsible gambling officers is meant to create a culture of proactive harm minimization.
