crownmelbourne as one of the demos to review, bearing in mind ACMA restrictions and local compliance needs. That recommendation is a demo-stage pointer; next I’ll explain support and complaint handling.
If you want to see an example of how a dashboard might look in practice and which alerts to prioritise — and how VIP thresholds map to A$ spend buckets — have a squiz at a vendor demo and test with realistic data (A$20 spins, A$50 reloads, A$1,000 jackpots) before you sign. You can also check another working demo at crownmelbourne to see POLi/PayID flows and AU-centred promos in action, but remember to validate where the data is hosted.
## Mini-FAQ (for Australian operators)
Q: Is moving analytics online legal for Australian casinos?
A: Yes, for land-based venues it’s legal — but follow ACMA rules for interactive services and keep data in AU where required by state regulators like VGCCC or Liquor & Gaming NSW. Next, see the KYC brief below.
Q: What data do regulators expect?
A: Audit trails for promos, player self-exclusions, KYC verifications, and reconciled payments (POLi/PayID/BPAY). Keep exports ready.
Q: How quickly can we see ROI?
A: Often 6–12 months if you automate a retention or fraud use-case first.
Q: Who to call for problem gambling help?
A: Gambling Help Online 1800 858 858 and BetStop for self-exclusion services are available nationally.

## About the author
I’m a product-and-ops consultant who’s worked with RSLs and mid-tier Australian casinos on analytics and payments integrations. Real talk: I’ve seen the rollout flubbed by poor vendor scoping more than once, so this guide emphasises small, measurable wins first. If you want a templated vendor RFP or a one-page tech spec for your CIO, I can draft that next — just tell me whether you’re NSW, VIC or QLD and I’ll tailor it.
