Interactive Gambling (Player Protection) Act 1998

The chief executive may direct the termination of a related agreement if, after considering the accepted representations for a show cause notice, the chief executive still believes the continuance of the agreement—

may jeopardise the integrity of the conduct of interactive games by the licensed provider who is a party to the agreement; or

may affect the public interest adversely.

The direction must be given by written notice to each of the parties to the agreement.

The notice must state—

the reason for the decision to direct the termination of the related agreement; and

the time within which the agreement is required to be terminated.

If the agreement is not terminated within the time stated in the notice, it is terminated at the end of the time by this Act.

The termination of the agreement under the direction or by this Act does not affect any rights or liabilities acquired or incurred by a party to the agreement before the termination.

The State does not incur any liability if the agreement is terminated under the direction or by this Act.

A party to the agreement does not incur any liability for breach of the agreement because the agreement is terminated under the direction.
