  • Introduction

Introduction

  • A venue operator licence enables an entity to operate gaming machines in Victoria. Venue operators are granted a licence for 10 years, and they must apply to renew approval before the expiry date to continue their licence. This page outlines how to apply for a licence.
  • The department is responsible for regulating and maintaining the integrity of lawful racing, gambling and liquor activities for Western Australians to participate in. Annual liquor licence fee invoices were mailed out on 17 November 2020.

The term ‘worldwide gambling license’ would prima facie mean a gambling license which allows you to operate in any jurisdiction across the globe. Such a license would generally not be possible and there are numerous reasons for the same.

You need a licence to operate an internet gaming business in the Northern Territory (NT).

An internet gaming business is one which uses the internet to conduct any or all of the following activities:

  • a lottery
  • a game
  • the sale of tickets in a lottery or foreign lottery.

It does not include gaming by an approved association or a trade lottery.

To apply you have to make a written submission to the NT government. There are no application forms.

The pages in this section will explain the kind of information you will need to provide, and how to write a submission.

NOTICE: The DIA website is available only for filing an online annual gambling report. If you want to apply for a social or charitable gambling license, you will need to fill out a paper application. Please download the appropriate application below and mail the completed packet including payment to our office.

You may obtain a paper copy of the annual gambling report by contacting our office either by phone at 515.281.6848 or by email at scg@dia.iowa.gov. This report is due on Jan. 31 each year and covers the previous calendar year. A notice is mailed in early January each year to all nonprofit organizations that had a license at any point during the reporting period. The notice includes instructions on where and how to complete the annual report.

The Social and Charitable Gambling Unit administers Iowa Code Chapter 99B, which regulates games of skill or chance, raffles, bingo, social gambling and amusement devices. Qualified organizations may obtain a social or charitable gambling license to conduct fund-raising activities benefiting educational, civic, public, charitable, patriotic, or religious purposes.

Sales Tax Information

Gambling receipts are subject to Iowa sales tax, even for nonprofit organizations. All taxes are payable to the Iowa Department of Revenue, and should not be submitted to DIA. More information about taxes on gambling receipts can be found on the Iowa Department of Revenue website.

Types of Gambling Licenses

In order to conduct charitable gambling activities, a nonprofit organization will first need to obtain a Charitable Gambling License. The Charitable Gambling License applications describe the various types of gambling activity that are permitted by the licensees. The only gambling activities authorized under these licenses are bingo, raffles, and games of skill and chance.

A license must be issued by DIA before gambling takes place, including the promotion and sale of tickets. Applications should be received by DIA at least 30 days prior to the intended start of activity.

The type of license you need will depend on the period of time for which you plan to conduct gambling activity in your organization.
