Clubs want greater power to ban criminals suspected of using poker machines to launder money for life.

The Police Commissioner would be able to issue club exclusion orders against anyone suspected of using poker machines to launder money, under new proposals.

Clubs NSW is calling on a mandatory code of conduct for gaming venues, access to the government’s central monitoring system, and a secure system to tip-off police to suspicious activities.

Clubs NSW CEO Josh Landis told Chris Smith currently, they are only allowed to report suspicious activity to AUSTRAC.

“You’re not allowed to kick them out … you’re not allowed to do anything but report them.

“We’re sick of being the meat in the sandwich.”
