24 Fairness

(1) A permitted gaming activity must be conducted in a manner that a reasonable person would consider fair and impartial.

(2) Without limiting subclause (1), the following apply to the conduct of a permitted gaming activity—

(a) all valid tickets or entries for the gaming activity must be included in the determination and selection of prize winners,

(b) the cost (if any) of participating in the gaming activity must be reasonable and clearly stated or made available to a participant before the participant agrees to participate in the gaming activity,

(c) participation in the gaming activity must not be limited in a way that is unfair or discriminates on the basis of a physical or other characteristic that is irrelevant to the gaming activity,

(d) if the prize winner is determined by a draw (however made) and is not awarded on the basis of a specific outcome, the prize winner should be determined randomly so that each ticket has a fair and equal chance of being drawn.

(3) The person or body conducting a gaming activity must take all reasonable steps to ensure that, if there is a change in the way in which a gaming activity is conducted, including when the draw for prizes in a lottery takes place, information about the change is notified to participants or made publicly available within a reasonable time before the activity or draw takes place.
