Sport Gambling

The manipulation of croquet competitions (or related activities) through things like match-fixing, inside information or tanking, undermines the integrity of competition and can also be a crime and punishable by law.

Prohibited Conduct under the Competition Manipulation and Sport Gambling Policy can include:

• Improperly altering the result or course of an activity in order to remove all or part of the unpredictable nature of the activity to obtain a benefit for themselves or others. Examples may include, but are not limited to, intentionally conceding points, pre-arranging the outcome of a competition, deliberate underperformance (also known as tanking) and intentionally unfair or incorrect officiating
• Betting on your own sport, or entering into any other form of financial speculation on an activity
• Disclosure of inside information connected to the conduct, management or organisation of a sporting event that is not generally publicly available
• Failure to promptly report any information obtained in relation to competition manipulation. For example, failing to report that a player was approached to fix a competition.

The policy also imposes obligations in relation to commercial arrangements with Gambling Service Providers, reporting breaches, and the sharing of information with relevant regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
