99: Regulations relating to admission to and exclusion from TAB venues

You could also call this:

“Rules about who can and can't go into TAB betting places”

The Governor-General can make rules about who can go into TAB venues and who can’t. These rules might stop certain groups of people from entering TAB venues, or let them enter only if they follow special conditions.

If you go into a TAB venue when you’re not supposed to, or if you stay there when you shouldn’t, you’re breaking the law. This is treated the same as trespassing, which is covered in section 4 of the Trespass Act 1980.

These rules about TAB venues are a type of law called secondary legislation. You can find out more about how these laws are published in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
