Frequently Asked Questions About Trade Promotions Registration
What is trade promotions registration and why do I need it?
Trade promotions registration is the formal approval process required by state and territory gambling authorities before you can legally conduct competitions, lotteries, games of chance or promotional prize draws. Each Australian state and territory has its own legislation governing trade promotions, and requirements vary by jurisdiction. Registration typically involves demonstrating your compliance systems, submitting permit applications and meeting responsible conduct obligations. HCPA has supported 10,500+ businesses through regulated industry registration with a 99% first-time approval rate. We manage every stage from compliance readiness to authority liaison.
Which states require trade promotions permits in Australia?
Trade promotions legislation varies across Australian states and territories. Most jurisdictions require permits or registration for competitions, lotteries and games of chance that involve prizes above certain thresholds. Requirements differ in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. HCPA’s Regulatory Growth Consultants map the specific permit and registration requirements for your target markets. We handle the complexity of multi-state compliance so you can focus on growing your business.
