Providing and recording access to monitoring data

These standard conditions streamline and simplify existing obligations under the Entitlement-Related Agreement for Venues and Deed Poll for Data Licence, which expired on 15 August 2022.

There are two key changes which took effect on 16 August 2022:

1.    The standard conditions replace the need for the Minister to hold individual agreements with every venue operator.

2.    Venue operators no longer have to apply to the VGCCC to give a third party access to gaming machine data (through a ‘sub-licence’ application). Instead, venue operators must now keep a register of third parties who access the monitoring data, and provide this to the VGCCC on request. The details to be entered into the register should include the following:

•    Name of Company
•    Business name
•    Contact person
•    Phone and email address
These standard conditions are made under section 3.4A.4A of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003. More detail is available in the Victorian Government Gazette. 

The standard conditions operate alongside the Venue Monitoring Services Agreement between the Monitoring Licensee and venue operator, as well as the Gambling Regulation Act 2003, Gambling Regulations 2015, and Standard Conditions for Pre-Commitment.
