In anticipation of Anzac Day, New South Wales officials are urging bars and nightclubs to emphasize responsible alcohol service and customer well-being, particularly given the customary Two-up matches.
With larger-than-normal gatherings anticipated, establishments are being advised that while Two-up is permitted on Anzac Day, Remembrance Day, and Victory in the Pacific Day, it remains an unsanctioned type of wagering and should be overseen accordingly.
This message from the governing body is part of a wider initiative to uphold benchmarks within the gaming sector. Previously this year, penalties exceeding $210,000 were levied for a variety of infractions.
Wagering firm Betr, based in Australia, received a landmark penalty of A$136,674 from the New South Wales Liquor & Gaming regulatory body. Their transgression? Airing gaming promotions that violated regulations – the heftiest sanction of its nature in the state’s annals.
This is not a solitary occurrence. Financial penalties for these sorts of infractions have been escalating since 2016, leading the authority to implement stricter consequences.
As Anzac Day, a day of solemn commemoration in Australia, draws near, officials are urging everyone, particularly businesses licensed to dispense alcohol, to prioritize security and adherence. The objective? Guaranteeing the day’s memorial events stay dignified and controlled.
