"Changing a class 3 gambling licence: how to apply for changes"

If you want to change your class 3 operator's licence, you must apply to the Secretary. You need to do this if you want to change the purpose of your gambling or make any other change that affects your ability to follow the law. You must use the standard form and give the Secretary any information they ask for, as listed in section 35. The Secretary can send your application back if it is not complete.

The Secretary will look at your application like it is a new licence application, using sections 36 and 37. The Secretary can refuse to change your licence if they are not satisfied with their investigation, as stated in section 37, or if you do not comply with section 38A. They can also refuse if you will not follow the law, including section 38A, and other rules and conditions.
