INTERACTIVE GAMBLING ACT 2001 - SECT 61BB

Exception--political communication

  (1)   To avoid doubt, if:

  (a)   something (the advertisement ) does not promote, and is not intended to promote, any particular designated interactive gambling service or services; and

the advertisement is not a designated interactive gambling service advertisement for the purposes of this Part.

  (2)   Without limiting paragraph   (1)(a), the use in an advertisement of the whole name of a designated interactive gambling service provider does not, of itself, constitute promotion of a designated interactive gambling service or designated interactive gambling services for the purposes of paragraph   (1)(a).

  (3)   Subsection   (2) does not apply in relation to the use of a name referred to in that subsection in a way prohibited by regulations made for the purposes of this subsection.

  (4)   Section   61BA does not apply to the extent (if any) that it would infringe any doctrine of implied freedom of political communication.
