Changes to identity verification policy

    (1)     A casino operator may request changes to an identity verification policy.

    (2)     The request must be made to the Commission in writing.

    (3)     The Commission, within 14 days after receiving the request, must—

        (a)     approve the changes to the identity verification policy; or

        (b)     refuse to approve the changes to the identity verification policy.

    (4)     In determining whether to approve the identity verification policy, the Commission must have regard to—

        (a)     the effectiveness of the policy in preventing gambling-related harm, money laundering and other criminal activity; and

        (b)     the effect of the policy on a person's experience at the casino, including the time it will take to verify a person's identity; and

        (c)     whether the casino operator has the current technological capability to conduct identify verification; and

        (d)     whether the policy will impose a significant economic burden on the casino operator, having regard to the likely administration and compliance costs of implementing the policy; and

        (e)     whether the policy will impose a significant social burden on the public; and

        (f)     whether the policy is compliant with these Regulations and any other requirements under the Act, the Gambling Regulation Act 2003 or any other Act.

    (5)     On making a decision under subregulation (3), the Commission must notify the casino operator of the decision and, if the Commission has refused to approve a change to the identity verification policy, provide reasons for the decision.
