Pokies cause pain, but are cashless cards a panacea for gambling?

TO have cashless gambling I assume clubs and pubs will ask you to withdraw money from their ATM, which in turn gives withdrawal fees to the financial suppliers, and then you hand money to the cashier who puts this amount in a cashless gambling card, which you then use on pokies or TAB, et cetera.

Will clubs and pubs require you to become a member of that location to use their cashless cards? If so, the club then ensures your patronage as well as giving your membership money to the government, or will membership be free?
