one special licence — used to fund the sector.
Club One (SA) Ltd exists to support clubs, sport and community activities in South Australia. To do so it requires income — earned by managing clubs, building and operating club venues, and managing Gaming Machines and Gaming Machine Entitlements (GMEs).
The licence
held by no other body in the state.
Granted by the Office of Liquor and Gambling Commissioner under the Gaming Machine Act 1992.
The core of Club One’s means to secure income for use in supporting clubs is its Special Club Licence. The Office of Liquor and Gambling Commissioner granted the Licence to Club One as a private not-for-profit company that complied with the requirements of the Gaming Machine Act 1992.
The Licence allows Club One to buy and place Gaming Machine Entitlements (GMEs) in complying venues in South Australia. Club One buys GMEs from “vesting clubs” and places the “vested entitlements” with host clubs, or “parks” GMEs on a short-term basis with other clubs or hotels.
become a vesting club.
Club One (SA) Limited can obtain GMEs from existing clubs that hold a Gaming Machine Licence. It purchases these GMEs for a lump sum or offers selling clubs an income stream (like an annuity).
Importantly, vesting with Club One (SA) Limited removes from clubs the obligation to comply with a Gaming Machine Licence. They can now apply for grants and support on the same basis as a non-gaming club venue.

become a hosting club.
Where possible, Club One (SA) Limited allocates the GMEs it holds to clubs able to pay the “rent” — thereby generating returns to Club One and, through it, the wider club industry, community and recreation bodies.
We review clubs seeking GMEs to ensure they can meet community guidelines for being safe venues. Equally, we support clubs so they can use Club One GMEs to maximise their support for members and local community.
Club One is particularly interested in allocating its GMEs to establishments that have state-of-the-art facilities and use best management procedures.
