"What's included in a class 4 venue licence for gambling"

When you get a class 4 venue licence, it must have certain information and conditions. This includes the name of the corporate society that holds the licence and the commencement and expiry dates of the licence. The licence must also state the authorised purpose of the corporate society.

You need to know the name of the class 4 venue and the venue operator and manager. The licence includes a description of the venue and its location. It also has conditions about the class 4 gambling that can be done at the venue, like the number of gaming machines.

The Secretary can add conditions to the licence to ensure the venue operator and manager can supervise the gambling. They can also add conditions to stop people under 18 from getting access to the gambling. If the Secretary decides to change or add conditions, they must tell the corporate society and the venue manager about the decision and how to appeal under section 77.

A class 4 venue licence can expire after a certain date, which is usually not more than three years after it starts. The licence can also expire if the corporate society's class 4 operator's licence is surrendered, expires, or is cancelled. If the venue is a racecourse, its main activity includes sports and entertainment facilities.
