133: Consideration of application

You could also call this:

"The Gambling Commission looks at your casino application to decide if they should approve it."

When you apply for a casino venue agreement under section 132, the Gambling Commission must consider your application. They will look at the agreement and any other information you provide to help them make a decision. The Commission must think about any suitability requirements mentioned in section 124 that are relevant to your application.

The Gambling Commission can ask you for a copy of the proposed agreement and any other information they need. They must make sure the agreement will help with responsible gambling in the casino before they approve it.

If you have a casino venue agreement, it will end when certain things happen, such as when a party surrenders their casino licence, the casino venue licence expires and is not renewed, or a casino licence is cancelled.
