Responsible Conduct of Gaming Policy

Penshurst RSL Club, in partnership with Clubs NSW and the ClubSafe program, aim to achieve best practice in the responsible service of gambling. The ClubSafe program achieves this by offering a variety of tools, training and services to help clubs concerned with gambling best practice.  

The ClubSafe self-exclusion process provides customers the option to choose to be excluded from the club. The Multi-Venue Self-Exclusion (MVSE) program is an online system designed to enable people with a gambling problem to self-exclude from venues around where they live, work and socialise.

Staff are trained to ensure discretion regarding matters of problem gamblers. For more information on the self-exclusion option please contact the duty manager or operations manager in person, or telephone 02 9580 3749.
