Unlawful Gambling (Charitable Gaming Application Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010–31
made under the  
Unlawful Gambling Act 2009, section 48 (Determination of fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Unlawful Gambling Act 2009 (the Act) regulates gambling in the ACT including the conduct of charitable gaming.

Section 11(1) of the Act provides for a charitable organisation to apply to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission (the Commission) for approval to conduct a game.  A note to the section indicates that a fee may be determined under section 48 (which provides for the Minister to determine fees for the Act).  

This is a new fee of $50 which will be payable by an applicant to the Commission.  The fee amount is less than the likely cost of processing the application because the purpose of allowing charitable gaming is to provide an additional means of fundraising for charitable organisations.
