Betting Control Regulations 1978

For the purposes of section 27F(4) of the Act, the prescribed criteria are as follows —

whether the domestic betting operator has engaged in conduct that would tend to undermine the integrity or reputation of the Western Australian racing industry;

whether the domestic betting operator is fit and proper to hold an authorisation;

whether the domestic betting operator is authorised in this State or another State or a Territory under a law of that State or Territory to engage in or conduct the business of betting on races.

For the purpose of, and without limiting, subregulation (1)(b), the Commission may take into account the number and nature of any convictions recorded, or charges pending, against the domestic betting operator for offences against the laws of this State or another State or a Territory, having particular regard to offences against laws relating to wagering.
