A Venue operators licence enables an entity to operate gaming machines in Victoria. Venue operators are granted a licence for 10 years, and they must apply to renew approval before the expiry date to continue their licence. This page outlines how to apply for a licence.
A company or club that wants to apply for a new Venue operators licence with approved premises needs to complete the Venue operators licence - approval of a company or incorporated association form. (PDF, 1.59 MB)
Applicants must ensure that the application form is completed as incomplete applications (including attachments) will not be accepted, and will be returned to the applicant.
The Act requires venue operators to nominate, in respect of each approved venue, a nominee. The nominee must be approved by the VGCCC and be responsible for the venue on behalf of the venue operator.
This ensures one person is responsible for the management and control of the gaming venue, with the person nominated and approved to be liable under the Act as a gaming venue operator.
