You could also call this:

“Rules for using New Zealand racing and sports information in betting”

When an offshore betting operator wants to use New Zealand racing and sporting information, they need to sign a special agreement. This agreement has several important rules:

You have to pay for using the information about New Zealand races and sports. The money goes to the right racing group, sports organisation, or Sport and Recreation New Zealand.

You need to share information with the people in charge. This helps them check if the agreement is working well.

You must agree to share information about integrity with the Racing Integrity Board. This helps keep racing betting fair.

For racing bets, you need to give information to the racing group to show you’re following the rules.

For sports bets, you need to give information to the sports organisation or Sport and Recreation New Zealand. This helps keep sports betting fair and shows you’re following the rules.

The agreement follows New Zealand law.

If there’s a disagreement, you agree to try to solve it in a specific way.

If you can’t solve the disagreement, New Zealand courts will decide what happens.

You agree that New Zealand courts can make decisions about the agreement.

There might be other rules added to the agreement later.
