Lotteries Act 1997

The object of this Act is to ensure that, on balance, the State and the community as a whole benefit from lotteries.

The balance is achieved by allowing lotteries subject to a system of regulation and control designed to protect players and the community through—

ensuring the integrity and fairness of games; and

ensuring the probity of those involved in the conduct of lotteries; and

minimising the potential for harm from lotteries.
