(1) RWWA, with the
approval of the Commission, may make rules —
(a) in
relation to on-course wagering through totalisators on racecourses and persons
licensed under the Betting Control Act 1954 ; and
(b)
prescribing the powers and duties of stewards in relation to totalisators on
racecourses and persons licensed under the Betting Control Act 1954 ; and
(c) in
relation to off-course wagering; and
(d) in
relation to fixed odds wagering; and
(e)
providing for the custody of its property; and
(f)
prescribing the duties of its officers, agents and employees in relation to
wagering; and
(g)
required or permitted by this Act to be made or for such purposes as are
necessary or convenient for the operation of this Act, or for carrying out the
functions of RWWA, in relation to wagering.
(2) Any rules made
under this section, in relation to a totalisator on a racecourse, so far as
they are applicable, apply in relation to wagers made through RWWA on that
totalisator as if the wagers were made directly into the totalisator.
(3) To the extent that
there is an inconsistency between a rule made under this section and a
regulation made under this Act or the Betting Control Act 1954 , the
regulation prevails.
(4) The rules are
subsidiary legislation as defined in the Interpretation Act 1984 .
