no such place is a common gaming-house within the meaning of that Act by reason only that two up is played in that place on ANZAC Day; and

Subsection (1) does not apply if—

any commission on, percentage of or fee for bets or winnings is given or sought by any person, whether or not a participant in the game.

This section does not affect any offence relating to betting by or with a person under the age of 18 years.
