Consequence of breach

What can go wrong.

Denial of access is a breach and can be escalated to ILGA.

Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
