Make sure you know the regulations around your external signage.
Division 7 of the Gambling Regulations 2015 sets out specific requirements regarding how external signage on gaming venues can be displayed.
It’s important for venues to familiarise themselves and comply with these regulations to avoid investigation and prosecution by the VGCCC.
Signs must be located on an approved venue and the sign (or each side of the sign) can only contain the word “pokies” (used once) in white text on a single colour background and in Helvetica font, Arial font or other similar font.
The area of each sign cannot be greater than 2 square metres or contain ridges, embossing, bulges, or other irregularities and cannot be illuminated.
For more information please visit Exterior signage rules for gaming venues. If you have any questions, please email us at: contact@vgccc.vic.gov.au or call us on 1300 599 759.
