Racing Regulation and Integrity Act 2024

The conditions on which a registered bookmaker may engage in on-course telephone betting under an on-course telephone betting endorsement are as determined by Tasracing and specified in the endorsement.

Without limiting Tasracing's discretion, an on-course telephone betting endorsement may include any one or more of the following conditions:that the registered bookmaker's telephone unit must be of a type approved by Tasracing and adapted and tested as required by Tasracing to ensure that outgoing calls cannot be made on the telephone unit; that the registered bookmaker must, on demand, allow a person, authorised for the purpose by Tasracing, to inspect and test a telephone unit being used by the bookmaker on a racecourse; that the registered bookmaker must allow a person authorised by Tasracing to monitor, including by electronic means, any bets accepted by the bookmaker by telephone; that the registered bookmaker must pay such annual fee, in respect of the reasonable costs incurred by Tasracing in administering, auditing and monitoring the bookmaker's on-course telephone betting endorsement, as is specified in the endorsement.

In imposing any conditions under this section, Tasracing is to consider any advice given and recommendations made by the Racing Integrity Committee in relation to the endorsement under section 149(4).
