(2)Subject to this regulation, the person to whom a totalisator ticket is issued by the TAB shall be deemed to accept the ticket issued to him and to have agreed that the particulars shown are correct, unless he applies forthwith after the issue of the ticket to the person who issued it to have any error or omission rectified.

(2a)Despite subregulation (2), on days designated as “major race days” by the Betting Control Board, a person who has made a bet in person at a TAB agency may cancel the bet prior to the close of betting on the race to which the bet relates, and receive a refund of the bet if the amount of the bet was less than $200.

(3)If the bet in respect of which a totalisator ticket is issued is one which cannot be recorded by the TAB on a totalisator, or is one for which notices exhibited by the TAB at the totalisator agency at the time the ticket is issued are not in accordance with these regulations, the person to whom the ticket belongs shall be entitled to a refund of the amount shown on the ticket.

(4)Unless subregulation (1) applies, where a totalisator ticket is incomplete as to any of the particulars required to be shown on the ticket, or if any of those particulars are in the opinion of the TAB ambiguous, the person to whom the ticket belongs shall be entitled only to a refund of the amount shown on the ticket.

(5)When a totalisator ticket is presented for the payment of a dividend or refund or for the purpose of correcting any alleged error, if the ticket has been altered, mutilated or defaced the TAB may reject the ticket and the person to whom the ticket belongs shall not be entitled to any dividend or refund in relation to that ticket.

[Regulation 17 amended in Gazette 31 Jul 1992 p. 3796.]

(2)The payment of any dividend or refund by the TAB shall be made in cash unless the TAB decides to make the payment by cheque or otherwise by the transfer of moneys.

(3)Subject to subregulation (5), the TAB may pay to a person any dividend or refund that is payable in respect of a totalisator ticket issued for a bet in cash without the presentation and surrender to the TAB of the totalisator ticket if the person making the claim for the dividend or refund proves to the satisfaction of the TAB —

(b)that the person is the person entitled to the dividend or refund.

(b)pay the dividend or refund to which a claim made under paragraph (a) relates at such time as the TAB determines; and

19.When refunds of bets are payable

(1)The amounts of bets for a place received by the TAB for transmission to a totalisator on a race course, whether so transmitted or not so transmitted by the TAB, or received by the TAB and placed in a totalisator pool conducted by the TAB, shall be refunded by the TAB if for any reason the place totalisator is not operated for the race on which the bets were made.

(2)Where a race meeting or a race at a race meeting is postponed from one day to another or is abandoned, the TAB shall refund all of the amounts of bets made in respect of races that were to be but were not held on that day at that race meeting other than — 

(a)double event bets in respect to which the first leg of the double event has already been run;

(b)sweepstakes bets;
