87: Use of betting systems for gaming purposes

You could also call this:

“Rules for using TAB NZ's betting systems for special games”

You can use TAB NZ’s betting systems for games of chance run by certain groups. These groups need to have a special license to run their games.

When TAB NZ uses its betting systems for these games, they have to follow the rules in the Gambling Act 2003. They also need to follow any other rules that apply to the specific game being played.

TAB NZ is allowed to pay its workers for running these betting systems. However, they can’t make the group running the game pay for these workers.
