Responsible Gambling Officer (RGO)

NSW gaming & clubs

The NSW-mandated role responsible for harm-minimisation activity on the gaming floor — welfare checks, intervention conversations, self-exclusion administration, and incident-register entries. Required at hotels and clubs with EGMs at thresholds set in the Gaming Machines Regulation 2019. The RGO's documented observations frequently underpin AML/CTF suspicion-formation and SMR drafting.

This term sits in the NSW gaming & clubs section of the working glossary — vocabulary drawn from the Gaming Machines Act 2001, the Liquor Act 2007, the Registered Clubs Act 1976, and L&GNSW guidance.
