Draining some 200 million dollars a year from the states' gamblers RSLs are the second biggest operator of poker machines in Victoria behind retail giant Woolworths
“In 2017 RSLs across Victoria generated about 270 million dollars worth of revenue but only 8 million dollars of profit; of that 8 million dollars only $ 447 000 went into the hands of veterans in need,”
