Interactive Gambling (Player Protection) Act 1998

The chief executive may, by written notice given to a licensed provider—

approve a place (the approved place) nominated by the licensed provider (other than the licensed provider’s public office) as a place for keeping the licensed provider’s gambling records; or

specify a gambling record of the licensed provider (an exempt gambling record) that is not required to be kept at the licensed provider’s public office or an approved place; or

specify a gambling record of the licensed provider that may be kept temporarily at a place other than the licensed provider’s public office or an approved place, and the period for which, or the circumstances in which, the record may be kept at the other place; or

approve the keeping of information contained in a gambling record in a way different from the way the information was kept when the record was being used by the licensed provider; or

approve the destruction of a gambling record the chief executive considers need not be kept.

A gambling record mentioned in subsection (1)(c) is also an exempt gambling record—

for the period stated in the notice; or

while the circumstances stated in the notice exist.

The chief executive may specify a gambling record for subsection (1)(b) only if the chief executive considers there is sufficient reason for the record to be kept at a place other than the licensed provider’s public office or an approved place.

The exercise of the chief executive’s power under subsection (1)(d) or (e) is subject to any other law about the retention or destruction of the gambling record.
