On-course Racing & Wagering Compliance Campaign
Throughout November and December, Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) will be undertaking comprehensive compliance checks of racecourses and on-course wagering providers to ensure compliance with the Betting and Racing Act 1998 and the Totalizator Act 1997 (the Acts).
L&GNSW will focus on ensuring compliance with key harm minimisation requirements including:
- controls related to minors accessing wagering products
- restriction on the provision of inducements to gamble
- provision of mandatory harm compliance signage and brochures.
Failure to comply with these requirements carries a maximum penalty of $11,000 for an individual and $110,000 for a Corporation under both Acts.
What do I need to do?
Racecourse operators and on-course bookmakers should refer to the Racing and Wagering Self-Audit Checklist (PDF 1.37MB) to ensure they remain compliant with the relevant legislation.
