The New South Wales (NSW) government is implementing a ban on gambling-related exterior signage at pubs and clubs in an effort to address problem gambling, with names like "VIP Room/Lounge" and images of dragons or coins being prohibited, and venues given a transition period to comply before facing penalties.
The government aims to minimize gambling harm and close loopholes in existing laws while also introducing measures to restrict political donations from clubs with pokies.
