sec.12 Meaning of authorised game

An authorised game is an interactive game that— a licensed provider is authorised to conduct under this division; or an external provider is authorised to conduct under the corresponding law of the participating jurisdiction in which the provider is licensed. However, a game that an external provider is authorised to conduct under a corresponding law (an externally authorised game ) is not to be regarded as an authorised game if the external provider is prohibited from conducting the game in Queensland by order under subsection (3) . If the Minister believes the conduct of an externally authorised game in Queensland is contrary to the public interest, the Minister may, by written notice given to the external provider authorised under the corresponding law to conduct the game, prohibit conduct of the game in Queensland. The Minister may only impose a prohibition under subsection (3) after giving the external provider and the relevant participating regulator written notice of the proposed prohibition and the reasons for it and allowing each of them a reasonable opportunity to make representations. If the Minister imposes a prohibition under subsection (3) the Minister must promptly give the relevant participating regulator a copy of the notice imposing the prohibition.
