Gambling - Licensing of casino gambling - Associated persons

156: Actions that may be taken by Gambling Commission

You could also call this:

"What the Gambling Commission can do if they stop or revoke someone's status to work in a casino."

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If you are refused status as an associated person or your status is revoked, the Gambling Commission can take action. This happens if the Secretary refuses your status in certain circumstances described in section 149 or revokes it under section 155, and you do not appeal on time under section 150, or if you do appeal and it is decided. The Gambling Commission can tell you and the casino licence holder to make changes so you do not have significant influence over the casino. You and the casino licence holder must work together to remove or get around your influence in the casino.
