AI Summary of 83. Regulations (Part 5)

The Authority may prescribe additional information to be submitted with an application for a gambling licence and may prescribe a form of consent to the processing of personal data and special categories of personal data. With the consent of the Minister, the Authority may, by regulations, vary the amount of a maximum relevant payment specified in column (2) of Schedule 3 or the amount of maximum winnings specified in column (3) of that Schedule, or both, having regard to: the number of gaming and lottery licences in force at the time; the impact of gambling activities on society in general; and the potential impact of any variation on gambling activities generally.

Where regulations made under this authority reduce the amount of a maximum relevant payment or of maximum winnings, or both, for a relevant game, relevant lottery or a relevant gambling activity for a charitable or philanthropic purpose, the coming into operation of the regulations does not affect any such game, lottery or activity already underway but not completed at that time. For these purposes a relevant lottery or relevant charitable or philanthropic gambling activity is taken to be underway where a relevant payment has been made in respect of the lottery by any participant.
