PUBLIC LOTTERIES ACT 1996 - SECT 11
Considerations for grant of operator licence
(1) The Minister is not to grant an operator licence to a person (
"the applicant" ) unless satisfied that the applicant and each close associate
of the applicant is a suitable person to be concerned in or associated with
the management and operation of the business (the
"lottery business" ) to be conducted under the licence.
(2) For the purpose
of determining suitability to be concerned in or associated with the
management and operation of a lottery business the Minister is to consider
whether-- (a) the applicant and each close associate is of good repute, having
regard to character, honesty and integrity, and
(b) the applicant and each
close associate is of sound and stable financial background, and
(c)
the applicant has, or has arranged, a satisfactory ownership or corporate
structure, and
(d) the applicant has or is able to obtain financial resources
that are both suitable and adequate for ensuring the financial viability of
the lottery business, and
(e) the applicant has or is able to obtain the
services of persons who have sufficient experience in the management and
operation of a lottery business, and
(f) the applicant has sufficient
business ability to establish and maintain a successful lottery business, and
(g) the applicant has sufficient technical expertise and resources to conduct
lotteries of the kind to be conducted as part of the lottery business, and
(h) the applicant or any close associate has any business association with any
person, body or association who, in the opinion of the Minister, is not of
good repute having regard to character, honesty and integrity or has
undesirable or unsatisfactory financial sources, and
(i) each director,
partner, executive officer and secretary and any other officer or person
determined by the Minister to be associated or connected with the ownership,
administration or management of the operations of the lottery business of
the applicant is a suitable person to act in that capacity.
(3) This section
does not limit the matters that the Minister can consider in determining
suitability to be concerned in or associated with the management and operation
of a lottery business and does not limit the matters that the Minister can
consider in deciding whether to grant an operator licence to the applicant.
