The measure introduces a flat statutory limit for online slots of 2 for 1824-year-olds and 5 for all other adults.
The IA was originally submitted in the previous Parliament and rated fit for purpose. The Department has since resubmitted with updated modelling, as the proposed limit is to be introduced in 2025, not 2024. The IA provides a good level of assessment for the proposal. The Department has provided a sufficient monetised assessment of costs to business and a qualitative assessment of public and societal impacts. The Department argues against exemption, and mitigation, for small and micro businesses, as this will not result in the objectives being met.
