I remember the time I made the last topic about how the credit cards might be banned for the future gamblers. Apparently according to the tabcorp, banks are supposed to be responsible for the credit card bans.
They also provided the stats that only 14% of the users use credit cards and most of them use it responsibly. Therefore the ban would be enforced by the banks and not by any government and the authority.
At the same time, there was a statement that I did like in the whole news:
-Exactly the problem here.
The governmental bodies and the banks thoroughly oppose gambling sometimes but at the same time they are not working together with the companies to make sure it's safe and more practical and therefore it's indeed hard for them to point fingers even though they did not try to work together.
I do think this sends a strong message about how things can be done in a better way, what do you think about it ?
But as you said, banks are the ones responsible for credit card bans no? So if what you quoted was from the government, then really, there's no purpose for the government to actually receive news about cards that are used for gambling, the banks themselves can ban said cards already. The banks could possibly then send audits about banned cards to the government so that they can prove that said cards are being banned reasonably. In the end though, if the users were able to bypass the identification area of where they're going to spend their money, the banks ultimately can't do much about it. They also provided the stats that only 14% of the users use credit cards and most of them use it responsibly. Therefore the ban would be enforced by the banks and not by any government and the authority.
At the same time, there was a statement that I did like in the whole news:

“If we got more information from the banks that a card was suspect, we could shut it down,” he added. “If the banks notified us that this was a problem, we would be able to stop dealing with that problem, but this flow of information doesn't happen.”
-Exactly the problem here.
