Remote gambling equipment

Whether or not any piece of equipment that is used in the provision of facilities for gambling will be classified as ‘remote gambling equipment’ is determined by the components that reside on it. If any of the components perform the functions listed in section 36(4) of the Act (opens in a new tab), then that piece of equipment is remote gambling equipment, regardless of what other components may be deployed on the equipment. Table 2 summarises the components that meet our interpretation of the definition set out in the Act where they are used in the provision of facilities for gambling. The equipment they are stored on would therefore meet the definition of remote gambling equipment. A more detailed description of the components can be found in Component Glossary.

Table 2 identifies components that meet our interpretation of the definition set out in the Act.
