Club Reallocation Scheme
On 8 October 2009, Parliament approved legislation providing for the reallocation of gaming machine entitlements within the State-wide cap on club-operated gaming machines. One entitlement represents the club’s ability to operate one gaming machine.
When the legislation commences at a later date, all existing clubs in Queensland will be provided with a number of entitlements defined by the new legislation. Clubs will then have the ability to trade these entitlements with other clubs.
Once the legislation commences, entitlements can be transferred to other clubs on a permanent or temporary basis, and may also be obtained from the Government sale of entitlements. For further information, see the attached fact sheets or contact the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation by email to info@olgr.qld.gov.au.

Actions affecting a gaming machine licence can impact on the temporary transfer of entitlements between clubs. The Gaming Machine Act 1991 requires OLGR to publish, on the application form for a temporary transfer, a notice regarding these effects.
The notice is reproduced here to assist licensees in coming to terms regarding what will happen should a temporary transfer of entitlements be impacted upon by an action affecting either party’s licence.
