means of a telecommunication device; and
(ii) gives, or undertakes to give, a
monetary payment or other valuable consideration to enter, in the course of,
or for, the game; and
(c) the winner of a prize is decided— (i) wholly or

(ii) by a competition or other activity in which the
outcome is wholly or partly dependent on the player’s skill.
(2) However,
the following are not interactive games— (a) wagering conducted under the
Racing Integrity Act 2016 if— (i) a person places a wager with a racing
bookmaker by using a telecommunications system under that Act for conducting
the wagering; and
