Unlicensed family entertainment centres. The three different types of amusement arcades can offer specific categories of gaming machine.
No one under the age of 18 years can enter an adult gaming centre or the adult-only section of a licensed family entertainment centre. Bingo Bingo is "equal chance" gaming. Although there is no legal definition or a standard set of rules governing the game, bingo has developed to a point that the game is broadly similar throughout the UK. The Commission has published guidance on its view of what bingo is and how it differs from other forms of gambling.
This advice was developed with the support of key stakeholders in the bingo industry. Betting "Betting" is defined as the making of or acceptance of bets on one of the following:.
The outcome of an event. The likelihood of anything occurring or not. There are several sub-categories of betting including:. Real event betting that is, fixed odds betting. Virtual event betting based on a random number generator.
Pool betting including fantasy football-type competitions , which is betting made on terms that all or part of the winnings will be determined by reference to the total stakes played by those betting and that the winnings will be divided among the winners or be made something other than money.
The Commission has published various advice notes and position papers on betting intermediaries, betting on lotteries, in-play betting and most recently on eSports. Casinos Casino refers to an arrangement whereby people are given an opportunity to participate in one or more casino games.
It applies equally to casinos located physically in buildings in which the games are played that is, land-based casinos and to online casinos offering casino games by some form of remote communication. Although, for obvious reasons, only the former will require a premises licence. Premises licences for land-based casinos can be obtained for both large and small Act casinos.
There were over Act casinos in operation when the Act came into force. This number has remained fairly stable, with openings and closures more or less in balance. The following specific requirements relating to small and large casinos also apply:. Small casino:. Large casino:. Casino premises licences also allow the licensee to make available any number of games of chance other than casino games, such as equal chance card room games.
They also permit licensees to provide automated table games, such as automated roulette that is, a version of the game played with a wheel controlled electronically rather than with a croupier. Is computer software for use in connection with remote gambling. Does not include anything for use solely in connection with a gaming machine.

This is determined through considering a number of factors, including:. Who is responsible for design and functionality, testing and approving design changes. Whether the contract is for the purchase of a product or the payment of time and expertise. Gaming machines The definition of a gaming machine is deliberately broad, covering a wide range of gambling activities which can take place on a machine, including betting on virtual events.
It is a machine which is designed or adapted for use by individuals to gamble whether or not it can also be used for other purposes section 1 , Act. The main gaming provisions are contained in Part 10 of the Act, which governs:. The manufacture, supply, maintenance, repair, installation and adaption of a machine, including its software, which are all regulated activities. Gaming machines, which are situated in Great Britain, or if activities are conducted in Great Britain in relation to the machines, irrespective of where they are situated.
For example, a gaming machine manufactured in Great Britain for export overseas is covered by the provisions or will require a gaming machine technical operating licence.
However, these machines need not comply with the gaming machine categorisation regulations under section of the Act see below. Under section , gaming machines fall into categories from A to D depending on the maximum stake and prize available and are set out in detail in secondary regulations. Category B2 gaming machines, also known as fixed-odds betting terminals FOBTs , provide a variety of casino games, and betting shops are entitled to four FOBTs per premises. They have been subject to intense public and political scrutiny regarding the maximum stake permissible.
Lottery Lotteries cannot be run for private or commercial gain and are defined as simple lotteries if all of the following applies:. Payment is required to participate. One or more prizes are allocated to one or more members of a class. The allocation of prizes relies wholly on chance. A complex lottery exists if in addition to the first two points above, prizes are allocated by a series of processes, the first of which relies wholly on chance.
The definition therefore includes events which contain an element of skill after the initial process. There are several types of lotteries but the main types are society lotteries small and large , private lotteries and the National Lottery subject to separate legislation. What is the licensing regime if any for land-based gambling? Available licences There are two types of Commission licences:. Non-remote operating licences for land-based activities, which require an accompanying premises licence.
Remote operating licences for online activities. Operators that want to offer remote and non-remote services must hold both operating licences. The provisions contained in the Act apply equally to both services. The Act creates the following categories of operating licences:. Casino operating licence. General betting operating licence with various sub-categories. Betting intermediary operating licence. Gaming machine operating licence with various sub-categories.
Lottery operating licence societies and external lottery managers. Operating licences Applications for operating licences are made to the Commission, who will determine following extensive investigation and having regard to the licensing objectives whether the applicant is suitable to carry on the licensed activities. The Commission publishes on its website www. This statement sets out in broad terms the principles which are used to assess any application, such as:.
Identity and ownership. Any person worldwide can apply for an operating licence, however, the Commission must be satisfied as to the suitability of the location of key gambling equipment.
In addition, as part of the application process, the applicant must meet the Commission's suitability requirements. Application procedure. A non-remote operating licence application can be made via the Commission's online application system or using the application form on its website, together with various supporting documents including detailed policies and procedures. Timing depends on the complexity of the business and corporate structure. In the authors' experience, applications usually take between two to four months to be determined from the point of submission, but could take up to six months.
Land-based casinos are generally considered to be a high impact activity in terms of the Commission's work, which means that applications may attract a high level of scrutiny and interest. Duration of licence and cost. Operating licences are granted in perpetuity, subject to lapse, revocation, surrender or suspension.
Application fees and annual fees vary according to the category of licence and gross gambling yield. Commission fees are linked to the burden of regulating a particular activity.
New fees came into force on 6 April following the Commission's joint consultation with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Premises licence There are five types of licences to enable premises to be used for:. A casino. An adult gaming centre for making Category B gaming machines available for use. A family entertainment centre, for Category C gaming machines. A premises licence is not required to provide facilities if they are to be used only by those who are either:.
Acting in the course of the business. Only one premises licence can apply to a particular premises at a time, which limits the type of gambling permitted to the particular type authorised by the licence. The rule is subject to exceptions, most notably in relation to betting tracks, however, no more than one premises licence can operate in relation to any area of the track.
Different gaming machine entitlements apply to different types of premises licences. The application is made to the licensing authority of the area that the premises are located in. The applicant must hold, or have applied for, an operating licence from the Commission authorising the type of gambling for which the premises are sought. The applicant must have a right to occupy the premises to which the application relates, which can be a freehold, leasehold or tenancy.
There is no limit on the number of premises licences, with the exception of casino licences. Only 16 premises licences for casinos were made available under the Act and each licence is subject to a public competition, with the local authority determining which bidder will be awarded the licence. Personal licences Although the operating licence authorises an individual, company, or other form of association to operate a particular type of gambling, those responsible for the management of the business, for compliance and for the control of gambling, will need Commission approval in the form of a personal licence.
There are two types of personal licences:. Personal management licence PML. Any individual with management responsibility for any of the following five key positions must hold a PML:.
Overall strategy and delivery of gambling operations. Financial planning, control and budgeting. Gambling-related IT provision and security. A PFL is issued to individuals working in a casino who are involved in gaming or handling cash for example, croupiers, dealers and cashiers.
PML and PFL holders must take all reasonable steps to ensure that they do not breach any of the licence conditions. In addition, they have various detailed reporting requirements in relation to "key events", notification of which must be submitted on behalf of the operator section Investment not by way of subscription of shares.
Material change in the licensee's banking arrangements. Investigation into the licensee's activities. PML and PFL holders must keep gambling fair and safe, by taking all reasonable steps to ensure their associated licensed operator complies with the Act, the LCCP and other regulatory obligations.
In the authors' experience, the Commission's policy is to hold PML holders directly responsible for licence breaches. The practical reality is that it is individuals holding PML holders, not companies holding operating licences, who are making decisions. Therefore, they will be held fully accountable where they make a business decision, or fail to make a business decision deliberate or inadvertent that results in any breach.
Changes of corporate control Under the Act section , a change of corporate control occurs when a new person or other legal entity in the licensee's ownership structure becomes a "controller" of the licensee. Licences are not transferable. An application for a new or separate licence is not required. However, an application providing detailed information on the change of control must be submitted to the Commission within five weeks of the change occurring section 5 , Act.
Otherwise, the Commission will revoke the licence. The Commission has a statutory power to grant an extension before or after the expiry of this period. Subject the Commission's assessment, the two possible outcomes are either that:.
