ABOUT PITCH! @RTG

A Plenary Showcase of Ideas, Capability and Impact

Pitch! @ RTG is a flagship feature of Regulating the Game, designed to showcase the ideas, technologies, partnerships, and practical capabilities shaping the future of gambling regulation, industry practice, compliance, and safer gambling outcomes.

Now integrated into the conference plenary, Pitch! provides a high-visibility platform for presenters to engage the full conference audience, placing emerging ideas, proven solutions, and scaled market capability before regulators, policymakers, operators, suppliers, researchers, and advisors. It is a forum where policy meets practice, and where both established organisations and emerging innovators can demonstrate how technology, research, leadership, and reform are being translated into meaningful real-world outcomes.

Pitch! welcomes commercially deployed products and services, large-scale operational programs, regulatory and cross-sector collaborations, and pioneering initiatives that challenge conventional thinking and open new possibilities. By presenting these side by side, Pitch! enables delegates to assess what is proven, what is evolving, what is being deployed at scale, and what may help shape the sector’s future direction.

From strengthening compliance capability and consumer safeguards to improving operational effectiveness, advancing integrity, and supporting more informed regulatory and industry responses, Pitch! showcases work that delivers tangible value in practice. It is a platform for bold thinking, practical insight, and demonstrated capability - grounded in regulatory relevance, operational reality, and strategic importance.

As part of the plenary program, Pitch! is designed not simply to spotlight new ideas, but to enrich the broader conference conversation. It provides a distinctive opportunity to test assumptions, compare approaches, and connect innovation with the policy, regulatory, and operational challenges facing the sector.

Harness regulatory technology to automate reporting, monitor risk in real-time, or uplift compliance frameworks through AI, machine learning, or blockchain integrations.
Champion consumer empowerment and market competition
Present ideas that enhance consumer choice, convenience, flexibility, and control-demonstrating how innovation and competition can deliver better consumer outcomes.
Innovate payments and cashless ecosystems
Showcase technologies or policy approaches that support safe, seamless, and transparent cashless solutions, and explore their implications for consumer protection and regulatory oversight.
Enhance product compliance and integrity

Highlight efforts that contribute to harmonised regulatory approaches, shared benchmarks, or cross-jurisdictional cooperation.
Explore blockchain and digital asset regulation
Tackle the emerging challenges of digital currencies and tokenised gambling products, and introduce strategies to regulate these evolving technologies.
Combat cyber crime and build digital resilience
Present tools, techniques, or frameworks to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats in regulated gambling environments.
Support safer gambling and reduce gambling harm
Share technologies or models that monitor player behaviour, enhance early intervention, or embed safer gambling principles into operations and design.

Present techniques or tools that improve investigative rigor, case management, or regulatory responsiveness.
Modernise audit and assurance
Introduce models or technologies that strengthen internal controls, independent assessments, or continuous compliance testing.
Utilise artificial intelligence for regulatory excellence
Explore how AI is being applied to risk detection, behavioural analytics, predictive supervision, or decision-making in compliance settings.

The AML Compliance platform, tailored to Australia’s pubs and clubs

Australia’s pubs and clubs are under growing pressure to strengthen their financial crime compliance programs under the AML/CTF Act. AUSTRAC’s CEO has raised serious concerns about money laundering risks in the sector, already taking enforcement actions against venues that fall short.

The problem is, most compliance technology is built for banks, leaving hospitality venues struggling with fragmented, costly, and complex systems that aren't designed for how gaming operations actually work.

One of the biggest challenges is automating transaction monitoring. In banking, a transaction is the transfer of value between accounts—but in gaming, it’s far more complex. Clubs and pubs must monitor both carded and uncarded play, where identifying who is behind the activity and assessing their risk becomes difficult. What’s needed is technology that can combine data from gaming systems and in-venue observations, reconcile it to verified member and visitor profiles, screened against the latest watchlists—all in real time.

To meet this challenge, BNDRY has partnered with Cherryhub to build a compliance hub tailored to the industry. Powered by BNDRY’s bank-grade security, the solution integrates directly with Cherryhub to access gaming machine system data, member and visitor data, and floor staff observational data, to automate the daily operational tasks of a robust financial crime compliance program—all in one single operational dashboard.
