You could also call this:

"Applying for a licence to run a gambling event to raise money for a good cause"

To apply for a class 4 operator's licence, you need to send an application to the Secretary. You must use the standard form and include extra information with your application. This information includes a copy of your governing document, details of how you will use the money from gambling, and a plan to help prevent problem gambling.

You also need to tell the Secretary about your financial situation and how you will make sure you have enough money to give to good causes. If you want to give money to the community, you need to explain how you will decide who gets the money. You must give details about the people in charge of your organisation, including their experience and qualifications.

The Secretary might ask you for more information to help them decide if you are suitable for a licence. If your application is not complete, the Secretary can send it back to you. You may need to provide information to show you meet the requirements of section 52A(1).
