Interactive Gambling (Player Protection) Act 1998

This section applies if, after considering the accepted representations for the show cause notice, the Minister still believes—

a ground exists to suspend or cancel the interactive gambling licence; and

the act, omission or other thing constituting the ground is of a serious and fundamental nature; and

either—

the integrity of the conduct of interactive games by the licensed provider may be jeopardised in a material way; or

the public interest may be affected in an adverse or material way.

This section also applies if, after considering the accepted representations for a show cause notice, the Minister directs the licensed provider to rectify a matter and the licensed provider fails to comply with the direction within the time allowed for compliance.

The Minister must forward to the Governor in Council—

written notice of the Minister’s belief or of the licensed provider’s failure to comply with the direction; and

copies of the accepted representations for the show cause notice.
