When you apply for a casino operator's licence under section 128, the Gambling Commission will investigate you and anyone who has a significant influence over you, as outlined in section 125. The Commission will look at whether you and the people with influence are suitable to hold a licence. They will also check if you have the right skills and experience to run a casino.

The Commission wants to know if you can operate a casino successfully, so they will consider your business management experience. They will think about whether you have the expertise needed to meet the obligations of a casino operator's licence. This helps the Commission make a decision about your application.
