How disputes about bets may be resolved
55 How disputes about bets may be resolved
This section applies to a dispute between a backer who claims not to have been paid, or to have been underpaid, for a bet made with a race bookmaker or a sports bookmaker.
If the backer or race bookmaker dies, this division and division 6.2 apply, as nearly as practicable, to the personal representatives of the dead person as they would have applied to that person if still alive.
A dispute about a bet made with a race bookmaker at a race meeting may be resolved in accordance with the rules of the racing club that held the race meeting.
If, in a relation to a dispute mentioned in subsection (3), an amount is held under the rules of the racing club to be payable by a race bookmaker to a backer, civil proceedings may be brought to recover the amount, if unpaid, from the race bookmaker.
Subsection (4) applies despite any other Territory law.
A backer may refer a dispute about a bet made with a sports bookmaker, or with a race bookmaker at a sports bookmaking venue, to the commission for resolution under division 6.2.
