House Policy on Children at Canterbury

Restricted Areas include; the Bulldogs Sports Bar, the TAB, the Atrium Bar or the Gaming Floor area.

Such behaviour includes, but is not limited to, screaming, running around unsupervised between tables, swearing, intimidating, and pushing or fighting with other children.

Unacceptable behaviour of a Minor may result in the minor and their accompanying Responsible Adult being asked to leave the Club premises.

Responsible Conduct of Gaming

To promote the Responsible Service of Gaming Canterbury League Club has a policy which complies with the various acts of Parliament that apply to the Registered Clubs Industry. The Club has also adopted responsible gambling and harm minimisation measures in accordance with the ClubsNSW Gaming Code of Practice. The Club will promote the social and economic benefits of responsible gambling and the gaming industry. This policy will be implemented for the benefit of our members, their guests and the community in general.

Canterbury League Club encourages responsible practices in advertising and promotions to ensure that the Club is not providing inducements to gamble. The Club will ensure the provision and use of gambling products occur in a safe and enjoyable manner. The Club will prioritise customer welfare and sustainable gambling activities. Signage to promote Responsible Gambling and where to seek help are posted in the gaming area and also throughout the Club. Canterbury League Club will not under any circumstances provide cash on credit cards or the cashing of cheques.

Members and/or visitors to Canterbury League Club have the right to exclude themselves from the Club. In order to provide support and advice, the Club’s Managers are trained to be a confidential point of contact for the club’s patrons, or the families of patrons, who believe they may have a problem with gambling. Canterbury League Club encourages those patrons who self-exclude to keep in contact with the Club so that the club can assist wherever possible.

Providing information and training to Club staff on problem gambling is essential. The concept of patron and employee care can help reduce problem gambling in the Club. Staff are trained to ensure discretion in matters involving problem gamblers.

Responsible Service of Alcohol

Canterbury League Club promotes Responsible Service of Alcohol in the best interest of its members, guests, staff and community. Responsible serving of alcohol is vital for legal, health and community reasons. Our society is now less tolerant of the irresponsible use of alcohol that leads to drunkenness, drink driving, unacceptable behaviour and underage drinking.

Canterbury League Club has adopted the following House Practices, which provide the framework for the Responsible Service of Alcohol:

• In order to prevent underage drinking, we will require acceptable Proof of Age to be provided when requested.
• Persons who are believed to be intoxicated will be Refused Admission to our premises.
• We will display and refer to our Intoxication Signs in order to support our responsible attitude and meet legislative requirements.
• Patrons in this establishment will be Denied Service and Required to Leave the Premises if they are considered to be intoxicated.
• We will not allow any indecent, violent or quarrelsome conduct on our premises.
• We will educate our staff and our patrons as part of our Duty of Care to ensure they understand the implications of and abide by our Responsible Service of Alcohol Practices.
• We will support and actively promote initiatives to minimise drink driving in order to safeguard the wellbeing of our patrons.

Canterbury League Club will initiate these practices by:

• Implementing, monitoring and modifying the House Practices on an on-going basis.
• Preventing under-age drinking by insisting on the production of acceptable documentation such as a current photo driver’s licence, passport or proof of age card as detailed in the Australian ID Checking Guide.
• Preventing intoxication by recognising the signs of intoxication and refusing to serve anyone to the point of intoxication. We will deny entry or service to anyone we believe is already intoxicated.
• Promoting the service of non-alcoholic beverages, low alcohol beers and food.

Our responsible serving practices aim to:

• Prevent under-age drinking.
• Prevent intoxication.
• Prevent violent or disruptive behaviour.
• Prevent drink driving.
