New South Wales Consolidated Acts

PUBLIC LOTTERIES ACT 1996 - SECT 18

18 Exclusive operator licence

(1) An operator licence can, if the Minister thinks fit, be granted as an exclusive licence for any period (the
"exclusivity period" ) up to the term for which the licence is granted.

(2) If an operator licence is granted as an exclusive licence, no other operator licence can be granted to be in force during the exclusivity period. This does not affect a licence already in force when the exclusive licence is granted.

(3) The grant of an exclusive licence does not create an exclusivity period for games of keno, with the result that one or more operator licences limited to a product licence for games of keno can be granted to be in force during the exclusivity period.
