Victoria makes changes to online gambling account rules
The inquiry represents the latest step in Victoria’s ongoing efforts to improve regulations for gambling.
In April, the VGCCC confirmed changes to rules for online gambling accounts in the state. This includes how players view their spending and losses. These changes focus on how certain information is displayed to players within their online gambling accounts. This includes information on spending, with net loss now excluding free and bonus bets.
Meanwhile, net wins are now more accurate, with players’ monthly statements subtracting all stakes from their total payout amount. Licensees are also required to use plain English, avoid unnecessary jargon and limit the use of colours to black and red to clearly show losses. In addition, gambling harm messaging should feature on each monthly statement.
