Tipping comps in Northern Territory: who to ask

Important: general information only, not legal advice

This is general information about rules that may apply to tipping comps and sweeps in Australia. It is not legal advice, and it is not advice about your situation.

Laws and regulator guidance change, differ between states and territories, and depend on the facts: how your comp works, who can enter and whether anyone pays to take part. What we say may be incomplete, out of date or wrong for you.

Tipping Ladder isn’t a betting, wagering or lottery service. It takes no entries or money, records no entry fees or prizes, and doesn’t decide whether your comp is lawful. The organiser alone is responsible for finding out which laws apply and for following them, including any permit, licence or approval.

Read the regulator’s current guidance (linked on this page) and get your own legal advice if you are unsure. To the extent the law allows, we accept no responsibility for decisions made using this information.
