If you’ve been barred from gambling, or you don’t agree with a licensee’s decision to bar someone, you can ask the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner to reconsider the barring.
The Commissioner will listen to both sides and then decide to:
· keep the barring as it is
· change the barring (this could mean making it longer), or
· cancel the barring completely.
You must ask for this within 14 days of the barring being made.
Once the Commissioner makes a decision, it can’t be changed or appealed.
You'll need:
- personal details of the person who has been barred
- the date the decision was made to grant or refuse the barring
- a copy of the barring order or details regarding the barring
- reasons why you would like the barring reconsidered.
What happens next?
Once an application is submitted:
- it's assigned to a senior gambling officer for review
- a reconsideration hearing may be scheduled
- the commissioner (or delegate) will consider all the information and decide to either confirm, vary or revoke the decision
- the outcome will be provided to all parties in writing.
