Legal- theft, fraud, scams

Community Services- pressure on charities and public purses.

 

 

 

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling occurs in a regulated environment where the potential for harm associated with gambling is minimised and people make informed decisions about their participation in gambling.

 

Responsible gambling occurs as a result of the collective actions and shared ownership by individuals, communities, the gambling industry and the Government to achieve outcomes that are socially responsible and responsive to community concerns.

 

Whilst the majority of people gamble responsibly, a small percentage of people may experience difficulties associated with their gaming behaviours.

 

The City Golf Club has a responsibility to ensure that the Gaming Act 1991, Liquor Act 1992 and the Queensland Responsible Gambling Code of Practice are strictly adhered to in the provision of gambling products and services.

 

The City Golf Club has implemented strategies to minimise the potential harm associated with gambling.
