In short: One of the first cashless gaming trials in NSW found the technology made little difference to the behaviour of gamblers.

The Wests New Lambton trial has received criticism from gambling reform advocates, who say it did not include a card with binding and default limits.

What's next?: The Independent Panel on Gaming Reform will provide findings from an expanded statewide cashless gaming trial.
