I've just read that survey and the tone of it kind of forces you down the path they want. It's like they've made their minds up what they're going to do, and they just want people to qualify it.
The hard part is reducing player harm but not at the expense of regular players. If they go too far then revenue is going to drop from normal punters walking away, and then the industry shrinks and people lose their jobs.
The ideal scenario would be a government portal that every player has to log on to in order to access gambling sites. They'd have all their details stored and some fancy algorithm would work out their own personal monthly limit based on their income and so on. Then the player can set play limits, including spin times, autoplay, slam-stop and so on. It would be like creating your own personal jurisdictional settings so you can gamble how you want to.
Once this is verified they move onto a list of accredited, certified gambling sites that they can sign up to, and from there they're free to spend their money how they want to, within those limits and settings. The sites don't need to know any personal details, SOW and so on. It's all taken care of at the portal stage.
This is what I'd like to see. A bit fanciful perhaps, but there you go... There needs to be a way of tailoring things to each player rather than throwing a blanket over everyone.
