Amendment No. 12 proposes a different definition of gaming. We actually recommend the UK definition of gaming. It seems to be slightly more open to adaptation to keep up with modern times. We need to be conscious of how gaming will evolve, especially for young children through such things as loot boxes in video games.

Amendment No. 19 defines as lotteries for the purpose of the legislation the commercial draw companies that frequently use a question of nominal difficulty to elicit as many entries as possible.
