INTERACTIVE GAMBLING (PLAYER PROTECTION) ACT 1998 - SECT 10
Declaration of participating jurisdictions and corresponding law
10 Declaration of participating jurisdictions and corresponding law
(1) If the Minister is satisfied the law of another jurisdiction is compatible
with this Act, the Governor in Council may, on the Minister’s
recommendation, declare— (a) the other jurisdiction is to be regarded under
this Act as a participating jurisdiction; and
(b) the relevant law of the
other jurisdiction (including the law as amended or substituted from time to
time) is to be regarded as a corresponding law.
(2) However, a declaration is
not to be made under this section unless the Minister has entered into an
agreement (an
"intergovernmental agreement" ) with the prospective participating regulator
that makes, in the Minister’s opinion, adequate provision for the following
matters— (a) the taxation of authorised games on a uniform or consistent
basis;
(b) collaboration between gaming officials and officers of the other
jurisdiction engaged in the administration of the relevant law of the other
jurisdiction;
(c) mutual recognition of licences and administrative acts
between jurisdictions;
(d) sharing of tax revenue derived from interactive
gambling on an equitable basis.
(3) If the Minister considers the law of a
participating jurisdiction is no longer compatible with this Act, or the
intergovernmental agreement with the participating jurisdiction is not
operating satisfactorily, the Governor in Council may, on the Minister’s
recommendation, declare— (a) the other jurisdiction is, as from a specified
date, no longer to be regarded as a participating jurisdiction; and
(b) the
relevant law of the other jurisdiction is, as from a specified date, no longer
to be regarded as a corresponding law.
(4) A declaration under this section
is to be made by regulation.
