Do You Have a Complaint?

We deal with complaints relating to:

  • the sale and service of liquor at licensed premises; and
  • the conduct of gambling including wagering activities - for example, playing gaming machines, keno, participating in table gaming, participating in a betting exchange and placing bets on racing or sporting events etc.

Making a Complaint

Step 1: Talk to the manager/licensee
  • Talk to the manager/licensee of the business where the complaint has arisen. This can be a quick and easy way of resolving complaints.

Step 2: Talk to the Liquor and Gaming Branch
  • If you have tried to have the complaint resolved directly with the business and you are not happy with the outcome, you can bring your complaint to us for investigation. We will look into your complaint, consider the evidence of what actually happened, look at the relevant laws and rules, and advise you of our decision.
