Racing Integrity Act 2016

The commission may approve a telecommunications system for bookmaking if—

the commission has the system assessed by a suitably qualified entity, other than the commission; and

the entity assessing the system gives the commission a report stating the system is of a standard—

to ensure the integrity of bets made; and

to protect the money and privacy of any person placing a bet.

A telecommunications system approved by the commission under subsection (1) is an approved telecommunications system for bookmaking.

The Minister may, if reasonably satisfied it is in the best interests of the Queensland racing industry, give the commission a written direction—

to have an approved telecommunications system for bookmaking audited by a suitably qualified entity, other than the commission; and

to give the Minister the results of the audit.

The commission must comply with a direction given under subsection (3).
