The Secretary can suspend or cancel a licensed promoter's licence if they think the promoter is no longer suitable to hold it. This can happen if you are not meeting the requirements outlined in section 201(2) or (3). You might not be suitable if you are failing to comply with the Gambling Act, your licence, or your agreement.

The Secretary can suspend the licence for up to 6 months or cancel it. When making this decision, the Secretary must consider the matters in section 201.

You can have your licence suspended or cancelled if you are not doing what you are supposed to do according to the law, your licence, or your agreement.
