All gambling-related signage will disappear from NSW pubs by September 2023, and venues that ignore the new rules will face up to $11,000 in fines for every offence.

Pubs and clubs will be formally notified from next week and will have three months to remove the signage.

Names such as “VIP room” and “VIP lounge” will be banned, as well as images of dragons, coins or lightning.

Gaming Minister David Harris said, “We are putting an end to this loophole.”
