Several gambling law experts have rolled out a new compliance accreditation program in an attempt to safeguard the industry in NSW.

Senet Assure and Senet Assure Premiumhave been launched this week by a team of Australian experts in order to “set a new global standard to protect gaming organisations and venues, their customers, and their communities against gambling-related harm and money laundering”.

The move comes after the NSW Crime Commission warned of greater financial crime in 2021, citing concerns that poker machines in particular would be exploited as a money-laundering option for criminals.
