About Minor Gaming Permits

You can only apply for a minor gaming permit if you are a Declared Community or Charitable Organisation (CCO). You can check VGCCC’s list of declared community and charitable organisations to verify that your organisation is declared.
Minor gaming permit applications cover the following activities:

raffles
lucky envelopes, and
fundraising events.

For information about each of the above activities and the rules/conditions that apply to them, see: Community and charitable gaming.

Determining whether a Minor Gaming Permit is required

Although you need to be a declared CCO to carry out minor gaming activities, not all minor gaming activities require permits. A declared CCO can conduct a raffle without a permit if the total retail value of the prize(s) is $20,000 or less. The total retail value is determined by looking at the recognised (not discounted) retail price for the goods and services being offered.

Even where you do not require a permit, you must abide by the rules/conditions for raffles in Victoria, see: Community and charitable gaming.

False or misleading information

It is an offence under the Act to give information that is false or misleading. If you give false or misleading information, your application may be refused. In addition, you may be prosecuted and fined up to 60 penalty units. For the current value of a penalty unit, see: Gambling fees, fines and penalties.

Publication of disciplinary action

If disciplinary action is taken against the permit holder the VGCCC’s decision, including the name of the community or charitable organisation which holds the permit and the permit number, will be published on the VGCCC website and in the VGCCC Annual Report.

Privacy policy

The VGCCC is committed to responsible and fair handling of personal information consistent with the Information Privacy Act 2000 and its obligations under the Gambling Regulation Act 2003.
