Key issues and risks

Key issues and risks

  • Online game and platform design: Understanding product and game characteristics and their links to harm should inform how games and platforms are made safer by design.
  • Gaming machines: The product characteristics of gaming machines combined with the environments in which they are made available present regulatory risks.
  • Higher risk products: Core product characteristics such as speed of play, frequency, staking options, return to player and accessibility should inform the risks to players and should guide the controls applied.
  • Product innovation: Product innovation should deliver positive consumer and regulatory outcomes and not be focused on commercial outcomes alone.
