Racing Integrity Act 2016

A racing bookmaker for a code of racing must not carry on bookmaking at a place unless—

when the racing bookmaker carries on the bookmaking, the place is a licensed venue managed by the control body for the code of racing and at which the commission is exercising control; and

at the place when the racing bookmaker is carrying on bookmaking—

a race meeting is being held under this Act; and

betting with racing bookmakers may take place, under a direction given by the steward who is in charge of the race meeting.

However, a racing bookmaker does not commit an offence against subsection (1) if—

the racing bookmaker holds an offcourse approval for carrying on bookmaking at an approved place; and

the place where the racing bookmaker carries on bookmaking is an approved place for the offcourse approval; and

the bookmaking is carried on at the place at a time permitted under the offcourse approval.
