The Government of New Zealand<\/strong> has launched a public consultation into a legislative amendment to exempt lotteries from a remote gambling prohibition clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the New Zealand Gambling Act 2003 <\/strong>prohibits \u2018remote interactive gambling\u2019 under Section 9, defining the term as any activity that involves \u201cgambling by a person at a distance by interaction through a communication device\u201d.

However, a new section was introduced to the country\u2019s gambling law back in 2021 in the midst of peak COVID<\/strong>, allowing for specific gambling activities to be conducted remotely by operators holding a Class 3 licence \u2013 in order to not affect their ability to fund-raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While lotteries were initially included in this section, it was done through a temporary insert that is due to expire on 31 October, 2024. The new proposed law is looking to extend this, allowing lotteries to be permanently conducted remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the legislative framework \u2013 under which lotteries also fall \u2013 Class 3 licence holders are gambling operators who carry out gambling activities without a gambling machine, with the goal of raising money for authorised initiatives such as charities or other non-commercial purposes. By being permanently exempt, lotteries will continue to be able to advertise freely and take online payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of now, under Section 4 of the Gambling Act only the state-owned Lotteries Commission – operator of the Lotto NZ <\/strong>lottery, providers of gambling authorised under the Racing Industry Act 2020<\/strong> (from which local commercial lotteries are not a part of), and licenced lotteries operating outside of New Zealand are allowed to operate remotely on a permanent basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new draft law will look to change that by adding a new paragraph which states that \u201cclass 3 gambling in the form of a lottery conducted by any gambling operator that holds a class 3 operator\u2019s licence that allows the gambling operator to conduct a lottery\u201d is also exempt from the prohibition order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public feedback will be expected by 11.59pm on Thursday 19 September,<\/strong> due to the Governance and Administration Committee having to report back to the House of Representatives on 10 October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the amendment receives the necessary backing, it will come into effect either the day after 1 November 2024<\/strong> or the Royal assent \u2013 depending on which one comes first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
