Racing Integrity Act 2016

A racing bookmaker must, when receiving a bet made from an interactive betting account, take reasonable steps to identify the location of the person making the bet.Maximum penalty—100 penalty units.

For complying with subsection (1), the racing bookmaker may rely on either of the following addresses as being the location of the person making the bet—

for an individual—an address given to the racing bookmaker by the individual as the individual’s residential address;

for a company within the meaning of the Corporations Act—an address given to the racing bookmaker by or for the company as the company’s principal place of business.

However, subsection (2) does not apply if the racing bookmaker knows, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, that an address mentioned in subsection (2)(a) or (b) is not the location of the person when the bet is made. Example of circumstances in which subsection (2) will not apply for a particular bet—A person making a bet with a racing bookmaker by telephone has previously given the racing bookmaker an address outside Queensland as the person’s residential address. When making the further bet, the person tells the racing bookmaker the person is in Queensland.
