You could also call this:

"What's on a licensed promoter's licence and the rules you must follow"

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

When you get a licensed promoter's licence, it must have some important information on it. You will see the name and business address of the licensed promoter and any key person, as well as the commencement date and expiry date of the licence. The licence will also have the name and business address of the approved surety.

Your licensed promoter's licence has some conditions that you must follow. If the bond provided by the approved surety under section 195 is withdrawn, or the approved surety is required to pay the bond to the Secretary under section 196, your licence will be suspended until another bond is provided. You must not be associated directly or indirectly with providing ancillary services or prizes in a promotion, unless those services or prizes are provided free of charge.

The Secretary can add other conditions to your licence, such as conditions relating to the investigation and audit of the licensed promoter. The Secretary can also amend or revoke a condition of your licence, or add new conditions, after consulting with you. If the Secretary decides to amend or revoke a condition or add a new condition to your licence, they must notify you of the right to appeal the decision and the process to be followed for an appeal under section 209.

If you contravene one of the conditions, you can commit an offence and be liable to a fine. The Secretary has the power to make decisions about your licence and you have the right to appeal those decisions. You should be aware of the conditions of your licence and follow them to avoid any problems.
