2.0 Payment of Entitlements

Venue operators that elected to pay for gaming machine entitlements under deferred payment arrangements are required to meet minimum payment terms for their entitlements.

If a venue operator fails to comply with the minimum payment terms:
a) interest becomes payable on any overdue amount; and
b) the entitlements may be forfeited back to the State.

Venue operators are able to pay for entitlements early without penalty.
