RWA Implements Pre-Verification Requirement for Online Gambling

[MissExposé]

Starting September 29, 2023, Responsible Wagering Australia (RWA) is enforcing a pre-verification measure requiring Australians to verify their age and identity before registering online wagering accounts. This measure aims to promote responsible gaming, prevent underage gambling, and mitigate money laundering risks while providing tools for safer gambling practices within the industry.

I hardly ever agree with Gov ., 'Nanny" control measures enforced on adults. However, in this case, I think it will be good for players and the industry on a whole.

Frankly, it should be mandated in all online gaming.

Aside from helping to prevent underage gambling, it also BLOCKS the possibility for dodgy operators who hold one's winnings to ransom, by playing KYC games.
