Sports betting
The range of sporting events upon which TAB Limited and licensed bookmakers are permitted to offer betting is determined by the Minister for Gaming and Racing under section 18 of the Racing Administration Act. Under section 20, the Minister determines the bet types which bookmakers may offer on each sport.
With respect to sports betting TAB Limited and bookmakers operate under separate - but similar - sets of Rules. Under the Rules, betting disputes involving either category of wagering operator are referred to the Sports Betting Disputes Panel.
With the commencement of the Racing Administration Act 1998, a new set of Bookmaker Sports Betting Rules (PDF 192kb) has been approved by the Minister under section 23 of the Act. This set of rules applies to all bets made with authorised New South Wales sports bookmakers from 15 September 2000.
The Schedule of Sports Betting Events and Approved Forms of Betting (PDF 98kb) is a table of the sporting events which have been approved for sports betting by the Minister under section 18 of the Racing Administration Act. This forms a schedule to the Bookmaker Sports Betting Rules. The table also sets out the forms of sports betting (eg. Head-to-Head, Margins) which sports bookmakers are permitted to offer. Included is a Glossary of Terms (PDF 12kb) which defines the various forms of betting available.
