Gambling - Licensing of class 4 gambling - Suspension, cancellation, or refusal to amend or renew class 4 operator’s licence

60: Consequences of suspension, cancellation, or refusal to amend or renew class 4 operator’s licence

You could also call this:

"What happens if your class 4 gambling licence is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed?"

If your class 4 operator's licence is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed, you still have to follow the rules. You must use the money from class 4 gambling as the law and your licence say. You also have to keep records and report as the Secretary tells you. The Secretary can stop a suspension if the problems that caused it are fixed. If the problems are not fixed, the Secretary can cancel your licence after the suspension period ends.

If the Secretary cancels your suspended licence, some rules from Section 59(5) and (6) apply. Your licence stays the same until you can no longer appeal, except as section 62 says.

You will not get a refund of fees, taxes, or levies if the Secretary suspends, cancels, or does not renew your licence.
