Clubs are not-for-profit and the vast majority of revenue earned by clubs goes back into the community.

Official data from the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission also shows that over the last 10 years, clubs have provided more than $150 million in community contributions. This is additional to the gaming tax paid by clubs which over the same period would be well in excess of $300 million.

Licensed clubs in the ACT have consistently provided roughly double the required amount in community contributions. The contributions clubs make to the community span sport, infrastructure, charities, politics and just about every part of community life.
