Competitions are governed by the Lotteries and Gaming regulations for each state and territory. If you want to legally promote your business using a competition in Australia you'll have to check if you need a permit. The rules are different for each region so here's the lowdown:
State | Maximum prize value not requiring a permit | Link |
---|---|---|
NSW | $10,000 | https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/community-gaming/trade-promotion-lottery |
VIC | No permit required | https://www.vcglr.vic.gov.au/gambling/lotteries/trade-promotion-lotteries/about-trade-promotion-lotteries |
SA | Permit is required regardless of prize value | https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/business-and-trade/running-a-business/trade-promotions |
NT | $5,000 | https://nt.gov.au/industry/gambling/gambling/lotteries-community-gambling/apply-to-run-a-trade-lottery |
QLD | No permit required | https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/hospitality-tourism-sport/liquor-gaming/gaming/not-profit-charitable/competitions-raffles-bingo |
WA | No permit required | https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/racing-gaming-and-liquor/racing-gaming-and-wagering/gaming-applications/how-to-conduct-a-trade-promotion-lottery |
TAS | No permit required | https://www.treasury.tas.gov.au/liquor-and-gaming/gambling/licences-and-permits/minor-gaming-permit/trade-promotions |
ACT | $2,999 | https://www.gamblingandracing.act.gov.au/industry/lotteries/trade-promotions |
In short, Intel are too stingy to apply for and pay for a permit in 3 states/territories. NSW is OK because the prize is probably under $10,000.
Tf does it have WA and Tas but not The central states or the act, how is it getting to WA then, magic?
