Gaming machine licence and application fees

These licence and application fees are in effect from 16 February 2020.

Gaming-related application and licence fees automatically update each year on 16 February in line with inflation.

GST is not payable and fees can change without notice. Fees are not refundable if the application is withdrawn or not granted.

We are deferring a range of gaming-related payments for up to six months due to the impact of COVID-19 on clubs and hotels across NSW. Deferred payments include:

community benefit payment
gaming machine lease levy
statutory payments under the Gaming Machines Regulation 2010, such as unclaimed jackpot prizes and unclaimed gaming machine tickets.

Please note for fees listed below:

*This fee is not subject to the annual increase.
^This application also includes a levy of 5% of the lease amount (rounded to the nearest dollar) or $1,000 per lease for each year the lease operates (whichever is higher), payable by the lessee (hotel receiving the gaming machine entitlements). You will be invoiced for this amount when your application is assessed.
