        (1)         Pursuant to section 91(2)(ab) of the Act, the following forms of betting on races held by licensed racing clubs, or races that are the subject of approved contingencies, are declared to be fixed-odds betting for the purposes of the Act:

            (a)         the form of betting where a person makes a bet on a race result at starting price odds;

            (b)         the form of betting where a person makes a bet on a race result at best price odds;

            (c)         the form of betting where a person makes a bet on a race result on the basis that the amount payable on a winning bet is the amount that would be payable if the bet had been made as a totalisator bet with—

                  (i)         the holder of the major betting operations licence; or

                  (ii)         if the holder of the major betting operations licence is not conducting off-course totalisator betting in respect of the race, the body authorised to conduct off-course totalisator betting on the race in the jurisdiction in which the race is held,

(ignoring any adjustment to the totalisator dividend that would have resulted if the bet had actually been made as a totalisator bet).

        (2)         In this regulation—

"best price odds" means the odds determined—

            (a)         in the case of a race held by a licensed racing club—by the betting price information service in attendance at the race or, in the absence of that service, by the club; or

            (b)         in the case of any other race—by the body holding the race,

to be the best price for the race result (the most favourable odds available on the race result at any time);

"betting price information service" means a body holding an approval under section 61(3) of the Act to communicate betting price information for races held by licensed racing clubs;

"starting price odds" means the odds determined—

to be the starting price for the race result (the odds available on the race result immediately before the start of the race).
