Gambling Act 2003

Harm prevention and minimisation, enforcement, and other matters - Other matters

371: Other regulations

You could also call this:

"Rules made by the Governor-General to help control gambling"

The Governor-General can make rules for many things, including how gambling works and how people who run gambling activities must report what they do. You need to follow these rules if you are involved in gambling. The rules can say things like how often people must put money from gambling into a bank account.

The Governor-General can also make rules about who can get money from gambling and how they can use it. These rules can apply to specific people, places, or types of gambling. You can find more information about what these rules are and how they are made by looking at the Legislation Act 2019.

The rules made by the Governor-General are a type of law called secondary legislation, which means they are based on a main law but provide more details about how it works.
