Gambling provides a source of funding for community groups

Gambling and lottery activities provide funds for community groups through grants.

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

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

A WELL known NRL commentator has admitted Channel Nine management hand feed him supposedly off the cuff comments critical of the Government’s pokie reform plans.

Sports commentator Ray Warren said the comments he made and those of fellow commentator Phil Gould during the NRL semi-final between Manly and Brisbane on September 23, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
'The proposed mandatory pre-commitment that they've put forward is a rubbish policy. It won't work,' Gould said. 'It won't solve the problem they say they're going to target, and it will do irreparable damage to the hospitality industry. It won't work and it will hurt.'
The following day while he was speaking on a program on Sydney radio Station Triple M Warren admitted upper Nine management was the true source of the remarks.
“It was a directive from up top that it be read by at least somebody, so I read it,” he said. 'I think it was an ad, if you like, it sounded like an ad. I think it was done on behalf of the rugby league, who is fully supportive of the clubs.”
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie who wants pokie reform and fellow Independent Senator Nick Xenophon have both written to David Gyngell, the chief executive at Nine to complain, about the comments.
The NRL, Nine and Clubs Australia all denied the comments were paid for.
