Responsible Wagering

FOREWORD

While Participating In Wagering Activities May Be A Pleasurable Leisure Pursuit For Many, The WA Racing Industry Acknowledges That For Some Users, Gambling Has The Potential To Become A Significant Problem That Impacts On Themselves, Their Families, Their Friends And The Broader Community.

Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) and the WA Racing Clubs are committed to positioning themselves as a competitive and responsible community organisation in the wagering and gambling industry and reducing the potential for people to develop wagering problems.

The Code of Practice (Code) represents a self-regulatory, whole-of-industry commitment to best practice in the provision of responsible wagering. It is a strategy, for both on and off course services, which incorporates problem gambling prevention initiatives, community education, compliance monitoring initiatives, and possible identification of procedures to connect customers that step forward, to professional support channels.

The Code has been developed by Community, Industry and Government representatives and will be periodically reviewed to evaluate outcomes, effectiveness of the practices, and inclusion of latest research on causes and preventative measures relating to problem gambling.

The Code provides a platform to share best practice across the Racing Industry, as well as supporting its effective implementation. It is supported by an Operational Manual, which will be maintained by the RWWA Responsible Wagering Customer Liaison Officer, relevant brochures, forms and training manuals.

Richard Burt
Chief Executive Officer
