Monitoring Licence
In 2011, the then Minister for Gaming issued a licence to Intralot Gaming Services Pty Ltd (IGS), to provide an electronic monitoring system.
The monitoring licence lasts for 15 years, and all poker machines in Victorian venues must be connected to this system. It expires in August 2027.
The licence requires IGS to conduct monitoring services and carry out any activities, maintenance or other work necessary to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted operation of the poker machines or systems and is responsible for the detection and continuous recording and monitoring of significant events, which can be a critical tool in detecting both money laundering and gambling harm risks.
As part of the monitoring licence, IGS also delivers the state-wide pre-commitment scheme, YourPlay.
YourPlay is a carded pre-commitment scheme that allows players to set time and spend limits, to stay in control of their play. While using YourPlay is optional for players, it is mandatory for venues to have it installed and available on all electronic poker machines.
The Monitoring Licence and Related Agreement is in line with section 3.4.53 of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003(opens in a new window) (the Act).
The then Minister for Gaming updated the monitoring licence (in line with section 3.4.59 of the Act):
