The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) oversees community and charitable gaming activities in Victoria. Organisations conducting raffles, selling lucky envelopes, hosting fundraising events, or running bingo sessions must be registered as community or charitable organisations.

How they allow all these ‘giveaway’ businesses like LMCT+ to use a loophole and claim being a trade promotion to run illegal lotteries is beyond me.. Have to either be completely inept or corrupt since majority of Australians can see in plain sight the loophole. And we have this governing body to protect the community, god help us
What a joke.
Despite a nightclub in my town continually playing tubthumping bass every Sunday morning from 1am until 3am this useless authority does nothing about them. They continually fob complaints off with 'it's an ongoing investigation' etc. I don't think they care at all about complaints and just look after operators. I have been forced to stop work on Sundays as I can never get a decent sleep until the music ends. Waste of time contacting them, I've tried for four years to get action and you just get nowhere. Absolutely the most useless bunch of people I've ever met, apparently the only action I can take is to take a splitter to the nightclubs amplifiers one night, get charged with it and that's about it! Stuff the VCGLR, absolute scumbags....
Very helpful authority. I visited the office and it was very close to the North Richmond station. Figured the building and the street but please note there is no signs or boards that tell you that you have reached the office. Just enter the building 12 and take the lift to Level 3 and talk to the reception for all information's you would require.
