A person whose interests are affected by a VGCCC decision may appeal to the Commission for a review. You may also appeal a Commission decision through the courts on a question of law.  

Where and how you appeal is determined by the nature of the decision. 

Appealing a VGCCC decision 

What can you appeal?

You can appeal our decision on:  

  • modifying a gaming machine area in an approved venue 
  • automatic teller machines in an approved venue 
  • declaring an organisation as a community or charitable organisation 
  • a minor gaming permit 
  • an application for a gaming industry's employee's licence 
  • imposing conditions on a community or charitable organisation's conduct of sessions of bingo 
  • a requirement for a commercial raffle organiser's licence. 

On request, the decision will be reviewed by a panel of three Commissioners.
