Racing Administration Amendment (Sports Betting National Operational Model) Bill 2014 [NSW]
Explanatory note
Outline of provisions
Clause 1 sets out the name (also called the short title) of the proposed Act.
Clause 2 provides for the commencement of the proposed Act on a day or days to be appointed
by proclamation.
Schedule 1 Amendment of Racing Administration Act 1998
No 114
Schedule 1 [1] changes the name of the Racing Administration Act 1998 (the principal Act) to the
Betting and Racing Act 1998 to better reflect the matters with which the principal Act is
concerned.
Schedule 1 [7] omits sections 18-20 of the principal Act and inserts a number of new provisions
(the key provisions) that regulate betting on sporting events in line with the National Policy on
Match-Fixing in Sport.
Proposed section 17A sets out definitions of sporting event and sports controlling body for the
purposes of Division 2 of Part 3 of the principal Act, it also permits the regulations to declare that
an event or class of event is, or is not, a sporting event and any such declaration is to be conclusive
for the purposes of that Division.
Proposed section 17B provides that a person or body may be prescribed by the Minister as the
sports controlling body for a sporting event. It is envisaged that the proposed section will be
administered by the Minister for Sport and Recreation, who will prescribe the relevant sports
controlling bodies.
Proposed section 18 permits the Minister to prescribe an event or class of event (whether or not
a sporting event) as a declared betting event. When prescribing a declared betting event, the
Minister must also prescribe the types of bets that are permitted to be made on the declared betting
event. The Minister is not to prescribe a declared betting event or to prescribe a new type of bet
for an existing declared betting event unless an application to do so has been made by a person
(the applicant) who is a licensed bookmaker who holds a declared betting event authority or who
is a licensee under the Totalizator Act 1997. If the declared betting event is a sporting event and
the Minister receives an application from the sports controlling body for the sporting event asking
the Minister to remove a particular type of bet that can be made on the event, the Minister must
give effect to the application unless the Minister considers that it would not be in the public
interest to do so.
Proposed section 18A sets out the requirements that must be met before the Minister is permitted
to prescribe a sporting event that has a sports controlling body as a declared betting event or to
prescribe a new type of bet for any such existing declared betting event. The Minister must be
satisfied that there is an integrity agreement in place between the applicant and the sports
controlling body. The integrity agreement must set out the measures that will be used to prevent,
investigate and assist in the prosecution of any match fixing or other corrupt behaviour related to
betting on the sporting event, provide for funding to go to the sports controlling body for those
purposes, make provision for information sharing between the applicant and the sports controlling
body and provide for a consultation process whereby the applicant will consult with the sports
controlling body before making any future applications. The Minister must also be satisfied that
the applicant has consulted the sports controlling body in respect of the making of the application
and the sports controlling body does not oppose the application.
Proposed section 18B sets out the requirements that must be met before the Minister is permitted
to prescribe a sporting event that does not have a sports controlling body as a declared betting
event or to prescribe a new type of bet for any such existing declared betting event. The Minister
must be satisfied that the applicant has taken reasonable steps to consult with the key persons or
bodies involved in the administration of the sporting event. The consultation is only required if
the sporting event takes place in Australia. The Minister must also take into consideration the

Explanatory note
public interest, any potential impact on the integrity of the sporting event and if the sporting event
takes place in Australia, the views (if any) of the key persons or bodies involved in the
administration of the sporting event.
Proposed section 18C creates an offence (maximum penalty of $11,000 for a corporation or
$5,500 or imprisonment for 12 months (or both) for an individual) if a betting service provider
(being a bookmaker, a person who operates a totalizator or a person who operates a betting
exchange) offers a betting service (accepting or offering to accept a bet, inviting a person to place
a bet or facilitating the placing of a bet) in relation to a sporting event unless the betting service
provider is a licensed betting service provider and has entered an integrity agreement with the
sports controlling body for the sporting event. The integrity agreement must set out the measures
that will be used to prevent, investigate and assist in the prosecution of any match fixing or other
corrupt behaviour related to betting on the sporting event, provide for funding to go to the sports
controlling body for those purposes and make provision for information sharing between the
licensed betting service provider and the sports controlling body. There is no requirement under
the proposed section to enter an integrity agreement at any time where there is no sports
controlling body for the sporting event or at any time during the 6 months immediately following
the prescription of a person or body as the sports controlling body for the sporting event.
Proposed section 19 creates an offence (maximum penalty of $11,000 for a corporation or $5,500
or imprisonment for 12 months (or both) for an individual) if a bookmaker accepts or makes a bet
on a declared betting event unless the bookmaker is licensed and holds a declared betting event
authority and the bet is accepted or made in accordance with the conditions to which the authority
is subject. The proposed section also permits the Minister to grant such an authority to a licensed
bookmaker on the application of the bookmaker.
Proposed section 20 provides for the conditions to which a declared betting event authority is
subject.
Schedule 1 [2] inserts a number of definitions for the purposes of the key provisions and omits
some redundant definitions. Schedule 1 [3]-[6], [8]-[14], [16] and [20] make amendments
consequential on the key provisions being inserted into the principal Act.

concerned.
Schedule 1 [17] corrects a reference to ensure that the terminology used in a section is consistent.
Schedule 1 [18], [19] and [21] make amendments consequential on the key provisions being
inserted into the principal Act and also update terminology in Part 4 of the principal Act to ensure
that the terminology in that Part is consistent with terminology used in the key provisions.
Schedule 1 [22] permits regulations under the principal Act to contain provisions of a savings or
transitional nature consequent on the enactment of the principal Act or any Act that amends the
principal Act (including the proposed Act).
Schedule 1 [23] inserts a number of savings and transitional provisions into the principal Act
