They require lottery operators to pay a levy (a type of tax or fee) equal to **3.25% of the face value of tickets sold**.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\n- **Lottery operators** — companies or organisations running lotteries in WA must pay this levy to the Gaming and Wagering Commission\n- **Indirectly, lottery players** — the cost may be passed on through ticket prices\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nThis is a revenue-raising measure. The money collected goes to the state government, likely funding public services or gambling harm minimisation programs. It ensures lottery operators contribute a set percentage of their sales back to the community.\n\n**Key detail:**\n\nThe regulations work alongside the *Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987* (the main law), specifically plugging into Part V Division 7 of that Act to set the actual percentage rate that the Act authorises but doesn't specify."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The regulation prescribes the levy amount only.
