The Commonwealth and the state ministers have actually gone further than the O'Farrell review recommendation in relation to the prohibition of lines of credit being offered. The prohibition of lines of credit being offered by online wagering providers is in the communique of 25 November 2016. The communique also commits to a national self-exclusion register for online wagering and goes to the discouraging of links between online wagering operators and payday lenders.
