205: Renewal of licensed promoter’s licence

You could also call this:

"How to renew your gambling promoter's licence"

If you have a licence to promote gambling, you can apply to renew it before it expires. You must apply using the standard form and include a bond that meets the requirements of section 195, or a statement from your surety saying they will continue to act as your surety. The Secretary will look at your application for renewal in the same way they look at a new application for a licence, using the rules in sections 193, 200, and 201. The Secretary cannot renew your licence unless you have given them the required bond or statement. If you apply to renew your licence before it expires, and your application has not been refused, your licence will still be valid after the expiry date.
