Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If you are a key person for a class 4 venue licence, you must not do certain things. You must not give out application forms for people to apply for grants from class 4 gambling money. You must not be involved in decisions about how to use the money from class 4 gambling at your venue. You must not provide goods or services to the group that runs the gambling at your venue, or to people who get grants from that money. If you break these rules, you can get a fine of up to $10,000. If someone in charge of a class 4 venue licence or an operator's licence lets you break these rules on purpose, they can also get a fine of up to $10,000.
