About Club One

Club One (SA) Limited holds a Special Club License created in 2006 by the Parliament of South Australia, when it made changes to the Gaming Machine Act 1992.

Club One (SA) Limited was created from a concept put before the Independent Gambling Authority (IGA) in May 2003 by Clubs SA in submissions to the “Inquiry into the Management of Gaming Machine Numbers”.

• The building of new club gaming venues.
• A maximisation of income to all clubs.
• The prevention of any loss of GMEs and their revenue from clubs.
