Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

The Governor-General can make rules for the Gambling Act 2003. You might break these rules and commit an offence. The Governor-General decides what the penalty will be for each offence. If you have a licence and you break the rules, you might have to pay up to $10,000. If you are an individual and you break the rules, you might have to pay up to $5,000. The rules made under this section are called secondary legislation, see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for more information about how they are published.
