Responsible Services of Gambling (RSG) Course
What is RSG?
RSG, or Responsible Service of Gambling, (sometimes known as Responsible Conduct of Gambling or RCG) is a certificate required by the Australian Government if you plan to work in any establishment that has gambling. In the course, you will learn how to detect the signs of a gambling problem and how to deal with the person(s). This certificate is one that you’ll need to obtain in addition to the RSA certificate.
Who is this Certificate For?
An RSG certificate must be present anywhere gambling takes place (hotels, motels, clubs, casinos, pubs, etc…). It’s beneficial for all hospitality personnel, especially the staff directly included in the sales and services of the gambling activities:
- The licensee
- Gaming supervisors
- Gaming managers
- Gaming employees
Do I need the RSG Certificate?
Yes, if you plan on working in the gambling industry, you’ll need to obtain this certificate eventually. Each state has different regulations regarding how quickly you need to get the RSG certified:
- New South Wales: RSG is compulsory.
- Northern Territory: You have three months from the start date of employment to complete and pass the RSG training.
- Queensland: RSG is mandatory.
- South Australia: You have six months from the start date of work to complete and pass RSG training.
- Tasmania: RSG is compulsory.
- Victoria: You have six months from the hire date to complete and pass RSG training.
What are the Benefits of Completing this Course?
There are numerous benefits to obtaining your Responsible Service of Gambling (RSG) certificate before you even begin working in the gambling industry:
- With Australia’s strict regulations regarding gambling, having this certificate will help you get hired quicker.
- The course is budget-friendly- a small investment for a big future!
