Venue operators are required to maintain an electronic or physical unclaimed winnings register, as outlined in the Accounting and Auditing Venue Requirements (Section 2.2)(opens in a new window). To assist, VGCCC provides an unclaimed winnings register template. 

Any winnings that remain unclaimed for 12 months as of 1 March 2025 must be recorded in your register and paid to the State Revenue Office by 31 May 2025.

Unclaimed winnings can include: 

  • any winning tickets not claimed 
  • unpresented cheques 
  • accumulated credits left on an EGM 
  • ticket-in ticket-out (TITO) tickets left in EGMs or incorrectly placed in a donation tin 
  • coins found in EGMs. 

Failure to comply may result in penalties.
