"The NSW Government today released a regulatory issues discussion paper and called
for public submissions on the proposed regulatory framework for NSW Lotteries.
Gaming and Racing Minister Kevin Greene said changes to the current lotteries
regulation were needed to ensure appropriate controls exist for the private ownership
and operation of NSW Lotteries.
Mr Greene said the discussion paper makes 20 recommendations for changes to the
Public Lotteries Act 1996, associated regulations and license conditions.
“This process is about ensuring there are appropriate controls in place when the
transfer of NSW Lotteries to the private sector occurs.” Mr Greene said.
“We want to hear views from the business and community sectors including prospective
buyers of NSW Lotteries, consumers, lottery agents and others.
“This process will firstly ensure any prospective operator of NSW Lotteries satisfies
probity, capability and integrity requirements."
