Club Contributions to Community

The purpose of community contributions are to ensure that a reasonable level of electronic gaming machine revenue is returned to the general community from Club’s operating gaming machines.

To assist Clubs in providing information about their community contributions, a reporting statement proforma is available to download. The Guidelines are designed to assist the completion of the proforma.

Reporting occurs twice a year and will cover periods January to June and July to December.
