Twin Towns Set to Host Free Gambling Harm Minimisation Conference

The free conference is designed to help those working in clubs, especially with gaming machines, to address gambling harm minimisation and create a culture of care.

From board directors and management to staff who work on the front lines of responsible gambling, attendees will be inspired by the expert knowledge and valuable insights provided by the event’s speakers:

• Frank Makryllos, Managing Director & CEO of eBET Systems and Co-Founder and Director of Cherry Hub, a digital platform that connects venues with innovative technology solutions. Cherry Hub also introduced the cherrycheck® compliance app to help clubs comply with the Club Gaming Code of Practice.
   
• David McAnalen from Gambling Help Services at Relationships Australia (QLD). This former problem gambler is one of three participants in the QLD Department of Justice and Attorney General’s campaign, When Gambling Took Over. David also works with industry and the community on early intervention.
   
• Tony Azouri, Host Responsibility Executive from Christchurch Casino New Zealand, who will address the conference via weblink. In his role at Christchurch Casino, Tony has assisted the wider team with organisational change. This has included the development of new harm-prevention tools such as real-time alerts, risk-detection algorithms and facial recognition technology.

The Gambling Harm Minimisation Conference will also feature panel discussions with representatives from ClubSAFE, GambleAware and local clubs, and lunch will be served to attendees on the day.
