How to apply

Application forms are available from societies (typically via a website), some community networks like Citizens’ Advice Bureaux, and often at gaming machine venues.

You must send your application directly to the society and not through a venue. Also, the society must deal with you directly and not communicate with you through the venue.

How to contact gaming machine societies

Use the map or the links below to access the contact addresses of gaming machine societies in your area and around New Zealand, or see the list of society websites .pdf (16k)*

Please note: The information available on this page does not provide details of all gaming machine societies. Only those gaming machine societies that invite grant applications from the public are listed. Clubs operating gaming machines generally do not make grants to the public. Instead, they use gaming machine funds for club purposes which are authorised purposes under the Gambling Act 2003. If you require statistical information about all gaming machine societies, check the statistics pages on this website, or email your request to Gaming Compliance.

Glossary of terms

Societies: These are the organisations that own and operate gaming machines and make grants to non-profit community organisations.

Venues: Formerly 'Sites', these are the pubs and other venues where gaming machines are located. They do not own the machines and must not be involved in decisions about who can apply for grants, who receives them or how much the grant should be.

Authorised purposes: These are the purposes for which societies can make grants. Different societies have different authorised purposes, but all must benefit the community. You can find out about each society’s authorised purposes by clicking on a region on the map below.

This information is updated regularly.
