Gambling Regulation
In reply to Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (29 November 2018).
The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General): The Lotteries Commission of South Australia (the commission) is a statutory authority empowered by the State Lotteries Act 1966 to promote and conduct lotteries for and on behalf of the State of South Australia.
The commission has appointed Tatts Lotteries SA Pty Ltd (SA Lotteries) as the master agent to operate the Commission's brands and products for a 40 year term, which is due to expire on 10 December 2052.
The commission monitors Tatts and ensures the operation of lotteries in South Australia complies with all regulatory and legal arrangements.
All gambling providers operating in South Australia are governed by the Gambling Codes of Practice Notice 2013 (the codes).
Whilst the extension of credit by a gambling provider and the use of credit to gamble is prohibited under the Casino Act 1997, the Gaming Machines Act 1992 and the Major Betting Operator and licensed racing clubs under the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000, the Codes and the State Lotteries Act 1966 do not prohibit the use of credit to purchase Lotto or Keno tickets.
As part of the transition to a new regulatory regime for gambling in South Australia, the Liquor and Gambling commissioner will be undertaking a broader review of all gambling regulation in South Australia.
The most appropriate way to progress the review will be determined by the commissioner early in the new year.
This matter will be considered in conjunction with consultation with the Lotteries Commission of South Australia and the South Australian public.
