Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001

A race bookmaker’s agent licence may be issued subject to any conditions that the commission considers appropriate—

for the proper conduct of race bookmaking; or

otherwise in the public interest.

The commission may, by written notice to the holder of a race bookmaker’s agent licence (the licensee), change the conditions to which the licence is subject if the commission considers it appropriate to do so—

for the proper conduct of race bookmaking; or

otherwise in the public interest.

Note Under pt 10 (Notification and review of decisions), a decision to issue a licence subject to a condition, or change a licence condition, may, on application, be reconsidered by the commission and reviewed by the ACAT.

The change takes effect—

on the operative day; or

if a later day of effect is stated in the notice—on that later day.

Note For the meaning of operative day, see dict.

If the licensee receives a notice under subsection (2), the licensee must not fail, without reasonable excuse, to return the licence to the commission within 7 days after receiving the notice.

Maximum penalty: 5 penalty units.

If the licensee returns the licence to the commission, the commission must, as soon as practicable—

amend the licence in an appropriate way and return it to the licensee; or

if the commission does not consider it practicable to amend the licence—issue an appropriate replacement licence to the licensee.

If the commission—

issues a race bookmaker’s agent licence subject to a condition; or

changes a condition of a race bookmaker’s agent licence;

the commission must, as soon as practicable, give written notice to the race bookmaker who applied for the licence of the condition or change of condition.
