(1) The principal object of this Act is to ensure that, on balance, the State and the community as a whole benefit from lottery activities.
(2) This Act seeks to achieve that balance by allowing, in the public interest, the conduct of lottery activities subject to a system of regulation and control designed to protect players and the community through:
(a) restricting who may conduct and benefit from lottery activities, and
(b) ensuring the integrity and fairness of lottery activities, and
(c) ensuring the probity of those involved in the conduct of lottery activities, and
(d) minimising the potential for harm from lottery activities.
