Lotteries Commission Amendment Bill 1998
Bill No.
139
Long Title
The Bill seeks to make amendments in a number of areas. Firstly the Bill provides a very general definition of lotteries which will allow for the introduction of new lotteries products in Western Australia as the market demands. The definition of a ticket has also been amended to take into account the possibility of purchasing a lottery ticket via the phone or other electronic means. The Bill also extends the range of organisations and jurisdictions with which the Commission can make an agreement to conduct lotteries games. Two further amendments are to restricts the sale of all lotteries products to persons over 16 years old (the current Act is silent on age restrictions for other lotteries products) and to enable the Commission to operate subsidiary bank accounts in addition to the main account.
