AGA is committed to stopping illegal gambling by partnering with law enforcement to develop national, state and local opportunities for action and engagement. The AGA will commission authoritative research on all forms of illegal gambling and strengthen partnerships with elected officials, law enforcement and regulators to combat this national problem that’s siphoning tax revenues from state and localities, and tarnishing our highly regulated industry’s reputation.

More than 30 law enforcement leaders from across the country gathered in June 2016 at AGA’s office in Washington for the organization’s first-ever Law Enforcement Summit to better understand the massive illegal sports betting market in the U.S and what steps can be taken to address it.

In a robust town hall discussion, law enforcement spoke of the illegal sports betting market as a significant problem and of regulation as a potential solution. Based on input from the Summit, the AGA’s Illegal Gambling Advisory Board authored an after-action report that serves as a guide for stakeholders – including policymakers, regulators and sports leagues – to develop potential solutions.

If poker involving gambling is played outside of a licensed casino, it may constitute an unlawful game under the Criminal Code Act 1899. Unlawful gambling is subject to penalties and can be reported to the appropriate authority.

Section 230A of the Criminal Code provides that an unlawful game means a game of chance, or mixed chance and skill that:

1. is not authorised under an Act
   and
2. is played by 1 or more persons (players) who gamble or bet on an outcome of the game for the purpose of winning money or another consideration
   and
3. has at least 1 of the following characteristics
   1. the game is conducted or played in a public place
   2. the game is played in a place, or part of a place, the occupier of which allows, on payment or money or for other consideration, players to enter and use for playing the game
   3. percentage of the amount gambled or bet is
      1. kept by 1 or more of the players, or another person
         and
      2. not included in the winnings of the players.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is the primary agency responsible for administering the Criminal Code.

In order for a poker game to fall within the definition of an unlawful game, the act of gambling or betting has to occur. In this regard, the conduct involves money being bet or gambled on an outcome in a game of which the winners are decided by chance or a mix of chance and skill.

Further, in accordance with the concepts of betting or gambling, the reward for winning a bet is dependent upon the amount of money waged (whether it be via a single hand or consecutive wagers placed on a game). This means that during the course of betting or gambling there is a correlation between risk and reward (i.e. the greater the amount waged, the higher the winnings payable).

While all enquiries or complaints are assessed on a case-by-case basis, any person conducting a poker tournament on licensed premises should seek their own legal advice prior to conducting the game or tournament to ensure that they fully comply with legislative requirements.
