MATCH-FIXING: KEEPING SPORT HONEST KEEPING AN EYE ON SPORT MATCH FIXING The Crimes (Match-Fixing) Amendment Bill seeks to address the risks of match-fixing in sport. The main purpose of the bill is to amend the Crimes Act 1961 (the Act) to apply the offence of “obtaining by deception or causing loss by deception to forms of match-fixing. The Parliamentary Bill Digest provides that the new provision applies to the manipulation, with intent to influence a betting outcome of a sporting competition, game, match, race, or rally involving human participants (or a dog race), of its overall result or any incidental event, and provides that manipulation of this kind, unless undertaken for tactical or strategic sporting reasons, is deception for the purposes of Section 240 of the Act.. It is expected that the Act will come into force by 15 December 2014 in preparation for the Cricket World Cup and the FIFA under 20 World Cup New Zealand will host in 2015.
