This is the best summary I could come up with:

Gambling reform advocates have criticised the findings from the first cashless gaming trial in New South Wales.

The trial ran at food and entertainment venue Wests New Lambton, a suburb of Newcastle in the state's Hunter region, from October 2022 until June last year.

The final report was based on post-trial interviews, and prepared by Professor Paul Delfabbro from the University of Adelaide on behalf of Liquor and Gaming NSW (L&GNSW).

"We need to see the introduction of the recommendation from the NSW Crime Commission for a mandatory cashless card that includes binding and default limits," she said.

In a statement, L&GNSW said the Wests trial in Newcastle was designed to assess how cashless gaming solutions operated in real-world conditions and how people used harm minimisation tools.

The expanded trial started two weeks ago at Tweed Heads, in the state's far north-east.
