It’s never OK for children to be in the gambling area or gamble at venues in Victoria.
In February, 3 licence holders were fined in separate court hearings after being found to have broken the law.
Correct Bet Pty Ltd, the operator of the Coburg TAB outlet, pleaded guilty to 2 charges relating to a minor and was fined $3,000 without conviction and ordered to pay VGCCC costs of $5,500.
Separately, Supreme Edinburgh Pty Ltd, trading as the Duke of Edinburgh in Brunswick, pleaded guilty in the Magistrates’ Court to 3 counts of breaching the Gambling Regulation Act 2003. The operator was fined $2,500 and ordered to pay VGCCC costs of $4,950.

The Victorian Amateur Turf Club, owner of the Peninsula Club in Dromana, was also fined $7,000 for allowing a minor to enter the gambling area and to use poker machines.
The VGCCC has filed charges against Flying Horse Warrnambool for allegedly allowing minors to enter a poker machine area. The matter will appear in the Magistrates’ Court later this year.
