A major issue surrounding the implementation of pokie reform is the amount of money that Clubs across the country stand to lose. Rugby clubs claim that millions of dollars are likely to be lost should pokie reform be enacted, but a recent report reveals that that these numbers may have been overestimated.

While gaming and sporting clubs across the country have argued that they have a lot of lose if pokie reform is legislated, recent evidence has proven that this may not be the case. It seems that their losses may be less significant that they have had the mass media believe. Clubs claimed that they would lose 40% of their revenue is the Gillard government were to enact pokie reform.

As a result, many not-for-profit organizations would also lose a great deal of funding. However, recent statistics indicated that losses are more likely to amount to just 10% to 20%. As a result, clubs across the country have agreed to participate in a trial of pre-commitment technology. The Gillard government is currently considering this option, and it is likely that a trial will take place before pokie reform is possibly enacted in 2014.
