Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If you have a class 4 venue licence, you must make sure some rules are followed at all times. You must minimise the chance of people under 18 years old getting access to class 4 gambling at the venue. You must own all the gambling equipment you use, except for electronic monitoring systems, and you must not use equipment that is financed by the people who made or sold it. You must ensure all your equipment meets the minimum standards and your venue is not mainly used for gaming machines. If TAB NZ is the licensee, your venue must be used mainly for racing betting or sports betting. You must also try to minimise the risk of problem gambling.
