PAYMENT Cashless payments are becoming SOLUTIONS more dominant in Australia. Tap and go, credit/debit cards, even mobile payments, are widely used across the country and preferred over cash. According to a survey by the Reserve Bank of Australia, “although there are some notable differences in the payment patterns of different demographic groups, the move towards electronic means of payment has been evident quite broadly. Consumers of all ages and incomes are, on average, making a smaller share of their payments in cash than they were a decade ago.”1

For operators of kiddie rides, FECs and arcades, offering cashless payments is possible and can change how sales are gained, as well as how operators run their entertainment businesses.

Nayax provides a complete solution to operators, with an award-winning cashless payment system, telemetry capabilities, management software and other robust features.

Introducing cashless payments is beneficial to operators because it increases sales volume. Says Nayax Australia’s Director Dylan Winik, “fitting a card reader like the VPOS Touch can optimize sales, boosting revenue by as much as 25%. For operators, installing card readers takes advantage of the growing cashless trend in Australia and ups the chance of your machines being used, increasing the number of rides taken or games played.”

For consumers who are already used to cashless payments, Nayax’s solutions offers the convenience of an easy payment process, with a choice of payment methods at their Continued over... disposal.

So, what did Terry do, he spoke directly the minister of gaming at the time and these practices of money attached to prizes was banned in NSW inside a month and a win for the industries concerned.
