Interstate betting operators

Interstate betting operators must notify Consumer and Business Services (CBS) if they want to operate in South Australia.

An authorised interstate betting operator can only conduct betting operations if:

  • betting is only by telephone, internet or other electronic means
  • no part of the operation is in SA or assisted by an SA operation
  • betting relates only to races held by licensed racing clubs and approved contingencies
  • the operator is currently authorised under a licence in another state
  • the operator is not suspended from conducting betting operations under a licence in another state
  • the operator is not prohibited from conducting operations under the Authorised Betting Operations Act 2000.

Gambling providers must not offer inducements or incentives to encourage people to gamble or open gambling accounts.

You can use the online form to:

  • notify CBS if you intend to conduct betting operations in South Australia
  • notify CBS that you wish to cease betting operations in South Australia
  • lodge an annual return regarding your betting operation.
