About us

The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) is the independent regulator of Victoria's gambling industry. In everything we do – and in our regulatory functions to licence and approval, to monitor and analyse, to educate and inform and in enforcing – we aim to ensure integrity, safety and fairness for all.

• Integrity: We want Victorians to have confidence the gambling industry is well regulated. That it's being run honestly, free from criminal influence and exploitation. We hold operators to account on both their legal and social licences to operate.
• Safety: We closely monitor gambling operators through a lens of minimising gambling harm. We boldly apply and direct our powers to those who are not keeping people as safe as possible.
• Fairness: We will not allow people – especially those vulnerable to gambling harm – to be unfairly targeted. This includes addictive play features, disguised or undisclosed playing odds, or a high concentration of gaming machines. We want the community to be informed to make reasonable choices.
