As revealed in AUSTRAC’s case against Mounties Group, poker machines in NSW alone churn through over $70 billion a year, with billions potentially laundered through clubs and pubs. The current system allows anonymous cash play, no real-time KYC enforcement, and poor visibility for regulators and venues alike.

✅ The Solution: One App, One QR Code Per Machine, Full Control

🎯 Core Concept:

We replace the outdated system of untracked cash and card loading with a secure, app-based wallet system, where every player is linked to a verified profile, with traceable transactions and responsible gambling controls.

💡 How It Works:

1. Machine-Based QR Code System

Each poker machine gets a unique, tamper-proof QR code linked to the venue and machine ID.
When a user wants to play:

• They open the app.
• Scan the machine’s QR code.
• Their wallet authorises the session.
• They can instantly top-up, play, and even lock themselves out—all in one app.

✅ No scan, no spin.

2. Mandatory User Wallets

Each user must register and verify their identity through the app using AUSTRAC-compliant eKYC tools (e.g. ConnectID or DVS).

They’re assigned a personal wallet:

• Funded via bank transfer, card, or crypto (if compliant)
• Limits can be set by the user or a carer (e.g. family)
• Every transaction is logged on the ledger

Bonus: Each wallet is auditable and transparent—no dirty cash, no anonymous deposits.

3. Responsible Gambling Controls

Users can:

• Set daily, weekly, monthly loss limits
• Freeze access for a day/week/month (cooling-off periods)
• View their playing history in full detail
• Receive auto-alerts if they exceed their own safe limits
• Invite a partner or carer to monitor limits (optional)

4. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Built In

Every step of the app is designed to meet AML/CTF compliance:

• KYC verification
• Transaction monitoring
• Suspicious behaviour flagging using AI
• Real-time risk scoring
• Venue-level dashboards showing activity trends

Venues are notified when thresholds are crossed or patterns indicate potential laundering.

5. Venue Management Portal

Venues receive:

• Dashboard with all wallet-linked activity
• Alerts on high-risk behaviour
• Ability to restrict machines during high-risk hours
• Downloadable reports for AUSTRAC or auditors
• Proof of compliance and proactive risk mitigation

6. Stamping Out Dirty Cash

By digitising the flow:

• No more loading machines with $50 notes from drug deals
• No anonymous walk-ins dumping cash
• Everything has a source of funds tied to an identity
• Patterns of structuring (e.g., low-value repeated top-ups) are flagged automatically

7. Loyalty, Rewards, and Transparency

Users can:

• Collect loyalty points (if offered by venue)
• Earn non-cash rewards like venue credit, food, or entertainment
• Get transparent statements (just like a bank)

8. Privacy & Security

• User data is encrypted and stored securely (ISO 27001 standards)
• No data is sold, mined, or shared without user consent
• Full compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)
