5E—Commissioner may reject offer or cancel trading round

5F—Determination of offers and prices in trading round
(1)For each trading round, the Commissioner will determine the offers to sell and the offers to purchase that, as of the trading day, are to be regarded as accepted and the purchaser price and the vendor price as follows:
(a)for each offer to sell a gaming machine entitlement, the minimum amount that the vendor will accept is to be multiplied by 4 and divided by 3 to produce a notional selling price;
(b)each offer to sell an entitlement is to be assigned a priority, with the highest priority (number 1) being assigned to the offer of the lowest amount and the lowest priority (the highest number) being assigned to the offer of the highest amount;
(c)if there is more than 1 offer to sell an entitlement for the same amount, the order of priority is to be determined by the drawing of lots;
(d)the priority numbers assigned to the offers to sell are then to be adjusted to produce a notional priority for each offer so that there are 2 offers for every priority number that is a multiple of 3, that is, the priority numbers are to be adjusted to match the following pattern: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10 and so on (with original priority 4 becoming priority 3, original priority 5 becoming priority 4, original priority 6 becoming priority 5, original priorities 7 and 8 becoming priority 6 and so on);
(e)even though the same priority number is notionally assigned to 2 offers to sell, the original order of priority as between those offers is preserved;
(f)each offer to purchase an entitlement is to be assigned a priority, with the highest priority (number 1) being assigned to the offer of the highest amount and the lowest priority (the highest number) being assigned to the offer of the lowest amount;
(g)if there is more than 1 offer to purchase an entitlement for the same amount, the order of priority is to be determined by the drawing of lots;
(h)the entitlements to be sold (if any) are to be determined in order of priority of the offers;
(i)an entitlement will be sold if the amount of the notional selling price of an offer to sell of a particular priority is the same as or less than the amount of the offer to purchase of the same priority (and those offers will be regarded as accepted as of the trading day);
(j)the priority of an offer to sell referred to in paragraph (i) is the notional priority assigned under paragraph (d);
(k)the purchaser price of an entitlement is half of the sum of—
(i)the amount of the offer to purchase an entitlement that is of the lowest priority that is to be regarded as accepted; and
(ii)the amount of the notional selling price of the offer to sell an entitlement that is of the lowest priority that is to be regarded as accepted;
(l)the vendor price of an entitlement is three quarters of the amount of the purchaser price.
(2)The Commissioner must publish on a website to which the public has access free of charge, or in some other form considered appropriate by the Commissioner, the Commissioner's determination of the purchaser price and the vendor price for a trading round.
(3)The Commissioner must inform each person with an offer to sell or purchase a gaming machine entitlement in a trading round of the Commissioner's determination for the round, including the purchaser price, the vendor price and whether or not the person's offer is to be regarded as accepted.
5G—Outcome of trading round
(1)A person whose offer to purchase a gaming machine entitlement is, as of a trading day, to be regarded as accepted must, within 14 days after the trading day, pay to the Commissioner the purchaser price for the entitlement and, in addition, any GST applicable to the sale.
(2)The difference between the aggregate of the amounts paid by purchasers and the aggregate of the amounts paid to vendors for gaming machine entitlements sold in a trading round is payable as commission into the Gamblers Rehabilitation Fund.
(3)As the Commissioner receives the proceeds of sale of a trading round and at intervals following the trading day determined by the Commissioner, the Commissioner is to—
(a)make payments to the vendors in the order of priority of the offers to sell gaming machine entitlements to be regarded as accepted; and
(b)vest gaming machine entitlements in purchasers in the order in which they have made payments for the entitlements; and
(c)—
(i)vest in Club One every fourth entitlement sold in the trading round by non‑profit associations; and
(ii)cancel every fourth entitlement sold in the trading round by persons other than non‑profit associations,
(those entitlements having been surrendered to the Crown).
(4)An entitlement is taken to be transferred by the vendor or cancelled at a time specified by the Commissioner by notice in writing to the vendor and an entitlement is taken to be vested in a purchaser or Club One at the time specified by the Commissioner by notice in writing to the purchaser or Club One.
5H—Default by purchaser of entitlement in trading round
(1)If a purchaser of a gaming machine entitlement in a trading round fails to pay the purchaser price for the entitlement within 14 days after the trading day—
(a)the Commissioner may, at his or her discretion, offer to sell the entitlement at the purchaser price for the trading round to persons who submitted unsuccessful offers to purchase an entitlement in the round at or above the purchaser price for the round in the order of priority of those offers in the round; and
(b)the purchaser may not submit an offer to purchase a gaming machine entitlement (in respect of any premises) in the next trading round.
(2)If a person to whom an offer is made under subregulation (1)(a) pays to the Commissioner the purchaser price for the gaming machine entitlement and, in addition, any GST applicable to the sale within the period allowed by the Commissioner, the person is to be regarded as a purchaser whose offer to purchase an entitlement is to be regarded as accepted (in substitution for the purchaser in default).
(3)If at least 42 days have passed since a trading day and a vendor whose offer to sell a gaming machine entitlement is, as of that day, to be regarded as accepted has not received payment for the entitlement, the vendor may, by notice in writing to the Commissioner, withdraw the entitlement from sale in the trading round.
(4)If a gaming machine entitlement is withdrawn from sale under subregulation (3), the Commissioner must not accept payment for the last gaming machine entitlement that would otherwise have been vested in a purchaser in the trading round, and, if a second entitlement is withdrawn from sale under subregulation (3), for the second to last entitlement that would otherwise have been vested in a purchaser in the trading round, and so on.
(5)If a vendor whose offer to sell a gaming machine entitlement is to be regarded as accepted in a trading round has not received payment for the entitlement before the publication of a notice in the Gazette establishing the next trading round, the entitlement is taken to be withdrawn from sale in the trading round and the Commissioner must not accept payment for the entitlement in that round.
5I—Closure of trading round
(1)A trading round is closed when all payments for gaming machine entitlements that may be accepted in the trading round have been made.
(2)On the closure of a trading round, 1 entitlement may remain available to be vested in Club One in a subsequent trading round (see regulation 5J) but otherwise the Commissioner is to cancel any entitlements sold in the trading round and not vested in purchasers or Club One or cancelled under regulation 5G(3) (those entitlements having been surrendered to the Crown).
(3)The Commissioner must ensure that notice of the closure of a trading round is published on a website to which the public has access free of charge.
5J—Remainder of entitlements sold by non‑profit associations to be taken into account in future trading rounds
If there is a remainder after the total number of entitlements sold in a trading round by non‑profit associations is divided by 4, a number of entitlements equal to the remainder is to be taken into account in the next trading round for the purposes of determining the number of entitlements sold in that trading round by non‑profit associations (and consequently the number of entitlements to be vested in Club One) as if they had been sold in that trading round by non‑profit associations.
