Gambling Act 2003

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

76: Consequences of suspension, cancellation, or refusal to amend or renew class 4 venue licence

You could also call this:

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

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If your class 4 venue 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 Act 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.

If your licence is cancelled, some other rules apply, like those in Section 75(5) and (6). Your licence stays the same until you can no longer appeal the decision, except as stated in section 78. You will not get a refund of fees, taxes, or levies if your licence is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed.
