168 Directions on contingency in relation to sporting event (1) The Commission may issue directions to a wagering licensee, prohibiting or restricting wagering on a specified contingency in relation to a sporting event if it considers wagering on that contingency to be contrary to the public interest or community expectations. A wager made on a contingency prohibited by the Commission is an unlawful wager under section 199. (2) For subsection (1), the Commission may consider the following factors: (a) the objective of promoting safe wagering and minimising harm from unsafe wagering; (b) consumer protection issues associated with the contingency; (c) protecting the public from contingencies that are offensive or insulting; (d) protecting the integrity of the sporting event. (3) Any potential or actual loss of revenue to the Territory or a licensee resulting from a direction under this section is not a relevant consideration. (4) Before issuing a direction, the Commission may request and consider submissions from a licensee who would be affected by the proposed direction.
