Reviewing a Gambling Premises Licence

Responsible authorities or interested parties may apply for a premises licence review if the licence holder is in breach of the following licence conditions:

• Preventing gambling from being a source of crime and disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime
• Ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way
• Protecting children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling

Please note: a list of responsible authorities can be found at the bottom of this page.
