BETTING CONTROL REGULATIONS 1978 - REG 94
94 . Presentation of tickets or claims
(1) Subject to
subregulations (2) and (6), a dividend or refund in respect of a bet,
other than a bet against a RWWA betting account, in cash made with or through
an on‑course totalisator or a local on‑course totalisator is to be
paid upon the presentation and surrender of the ticket issued for that bet.
(2) The relevant
totalisator may, upon the presentation or surrender of a ticket issued for a
bet, refuse to pay a dividend or refund in respect of that bet if there are
reasonable grounds to suspect that the person presenting the ticket is not
entitled to that dividend or refund.
(3) The payment of any
dividend or refund is to be made in cash unless the particular totalisator
decides to make the payment by cheque or otherwise by the transfer of moneys.
(4) Subject to
subregulation (6), an on‑course totalisator or a local
on‑course totalisator may pay to a person any dividend or refund that is
payable in respect of a ticket issued for a bet without the presentation and
surrender of the ticket, if the person making the claim for the dividend or
refund proves to the satisfaction of the appropriate totalisator —
(a) that
the ticket has been lost or destroyed; and
(b) that
the person is the person entitled to the dividend or refund.
(5) An on‑course
totalisator or a local on‑course totalisator may —
(a)
require a person making a claim for a dividend or refund to verify the claim
in a manner required by RWWA, and may require verification of the claim by
statutory declaration; and
(b) pay
the dividend or refund to which a claim made under paragraph (a) relates
at such time as the authority controlling the race meeting determines; and
(c)
deduct from the amount of any dividend or refund paid under
subregulation (4) the amount of the out‑of‑pocket expenses
actually incurred by the relevant totalisator, including stamp duty if any, in
connection with the establishment and payment of the claim.
(6) An on‑course
totalisator or a local on‑course totalisator may refuse to pay a
dividend or refund in respect of a bet made if the dividend or refund has
already been paid under this regulation.
