No. A club can conduct small raffles (art unions) up to $2,000 without any licence or permit. However, if the club is an "eligible association" it can conduct raffles up to $20,000 without any licence or permit. See Section 10 of the Charitable and Non-Profit Gaming Act 1999 for meaning of "eligible association".

Not for Category 1 ticket sales up to $2,000 or Category 2 games ticket sales up to $20,000. A licence number must be printed on all Category 3 games where the ticket sales are estimated to exceed $20,000.

The total value of prizes in any raffle must be at least 20% of the estimated gross proceeds (total ticket sales). In simple terms if the prize is valued at $20.00, the maximum permissible ticket sales is $100.00.

Yes.

You cannot obtain a permit to conduct a Funny Money or Casino Night. This type of activity is an "unlawful game" under the Criminal Code Act 1899 if players risk a stake on the outcome. This includes players, at the conclusion of an event, using the chips or "funny money" to bid in an auction, or if the player with the highest number of chips receives a prize. However, if the method of playing or conducting such events is modified to remove the element of any player risking a stake on the outcome so that players play for entertainment only, then unlawful gaming will not occur.

The Criminal Code Act 1899 is enforced by the Queensland Police Service. If you are in any doubt of what constitutes an unlawful game, you should obtain independent legal advice before conducting a funny money or casino night.
