What is a ‘facility’ and where can it be located in a venue?

Other related content
Gaming venue operator

Know your obligations around facilities at your venue.

Under the Gambling Regulations Act 2003, customers must be able to access facilities without entering the gaming machine area.

A facility refers to a ‘place, amenity, or piece of equipment provided for a particular purpose’.

For example, customers must be able to access toilets without needing to enter the gaming machine area. This also applies to entrances and exits – access to a venue must be provided without being required to enter or exit via the gaming machine area.

You can provide facilities in the gaming machine area, but there must also be a facility of the same type provided outside of the gaming machine area.

For example, a cigarette vending machine, a food and/or beverage vending machine or even a Lucky Envelope machine.

Remember, cash facilities are strictly regulated and can’t be located within the gaming machine area.
