Queensland requires clubs to transfer gaming entitlements after licence surrender
Source: OLGR Queensland
Queensland’s Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation says clubs surrendering a gaming machine licence must permanently transfer all entitlements within two years of the surrender date. Any not transferred become entitlements of the State; hotels must sell all operating authorities attached to a surrendered category 1 licence through an authorised sale, and the surrender generally takes effect three months after notification unless an earlier date is approved.
Licensees face different disposal requirements and deadlines depending on whether they operate a hotel or club.
