NSW gaming and clubs vocabulary is drawn from three stacked statutes: the Gaming Machines Act 2001 (entitlements, gaming-room operation, hours-of-operation, self-exclusion), the Liquor Act 2007 (the underlying club liquor licence, RSA obligations, intoxication procedures), and the Registered Clubs Act 1976 (constitution, directors, registered objects, ClubGRANTS). Liquor & Gaming NSW administers all three through licensing, inspection, and education functions, with ILGA handling licensing and disciplinary decisions. These terms recur across L&GNSW guidance, inspection notices, and the obligations a venue's secretary-manager engages with daily.
