RACING AND WAGERING WESTERN AUSTRALIA REGULATIONS 2003 - REG 60

60 .         Errors in wagers by telephone or other electronic means

        (1)         Subject to subregulation (2) where an error results in an incorrect wager being made by telephone or other electronic means with RWWA, prima facie the wager is taken to be that which is recorded by RWWA so that the depositor is to suffer the loss or receive the benefit as the case may be.

        (2)         Where a person alleges that an error as to a wager made by the telephone or other electronic means resulting in loss to a depositor was due to the mistake or other default of any employee of RWWA, or of any agent or of any employee of any agent, RWWA is to inquire into the circumstances.

        (3)         If RWWA is satisfied that the error was due either to the wilful default or to the negligence of the employee or agent RWWA is to refund the amount of the wager.

        (4)         If the error arises by reason of incorrect information obtained from reference material, whether or not supplied by RWWA, RWWA may, but is not liable to, refund the amount of the wager.

        (5)         RWWA is not liable to pay, but may pay part or all of, any dividend that would have been payable but for the error.
