Exemption to Cash Cheques
The Commission's Responsible Gambling Code of Practice prohibits the cashing of cheques at an approved venue or approved outlet unless an exemption has been approved by the Commission, or the patron is an international visitor.
Where an exemption has been approved, or the patron is an international visitor -
- no more than one cheque is permitted to be cashed, per day, per customer at:
- a hotel or licensed club (to a maximum value of $100 for gambling purposes); or
- a casino (to a maximum value of $200 for gambling purposes); and
- before a cheque is cashed for gambling purposes, the operator must check whether the person is excluded from gambling.
The Commission may consider approving an exemption where the licence holder can satisfactorily demonstrate that the venue is located in an area where cheque cashing facilities are otherwise unavailable and this this service is essential to the community.
The Commission's guidelines for seeking an exemption can be found here: Guidelines for seeking exemption to cash cheques.
