sec.178 Notices about keeping wagering records
The chief executive may, by written notice given to an authority operator— approve a place (the approved place ) nominated by the operator as the place where the operator is required to keep the operator’s wagering records; or specify a wagering record of the operator (an exempt wagering record ) that is not required to be kept at the approved place; or specify a wagering record of the operator that may be kept temporarily at a place other than the approved place, and the period for which, or the circumstances in which, the record may be kept at the other place; or approve the keeping of information contained in a wagering record in a way different from the way the information was kept when the record was being used by the operator; or approve the destruction of a wagering record the chief executive considers need not be kept. The chief executive may specify a wagering record for subsection (1) (b) only if the chief executive considers there is sufficient reason for the record to be kept at a place other than the approved place. A wagering record mentioned in subsection (1) (c) is also an exempt wagering record — for the period stated in the notice; or while the circumstances stated in the notice exist. The exercise of the chief executive’s power under subsection (1) (d) or (e) is subject to any other law about the retention or destruction of the wagering record. (sec.178-ssec.1) The chief executive may, by written notice given to an authority operator— approve a place (the approved place ) nominated by the operator as the place where the operator is required to keep the operator’s wagering records; or specify a wagering record of the operator (an exempt wagering record ) that is not required to be kept at the approved place; or specify a wagering record of the operator that may be kept temporarily at a place other than the approved place, and the period for which, or the circumstances in which, the record may be kept at the other place; or approve the keeping of information contained in a wagering record in a way different from the way the information was kept when the record was being used by the operator; or approve the destruction of a wagering record the chief executive considers need not be kept. (sec.178-ssec.2) The chief executive may specify a wagering record for subsection (1) (b) only if the chief executive considers there is sufficient reason for the record to be kept at a place other than the approved place.
