Gambling Act 2003

Gambling - Licensed promoters of class 3 gambling - Suspension, cancellation, or refusal to renew licensed promoter’s licence

208: Consequences of suspension, cancellation, or refusal to renew licensed promoter’s licence

You could also call this:

"What happens if your gambling licence is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed?"

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If your licensed promoter's licence is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed, you still have to do some things. You have to pay the bond amount if you are an approved surety, as stated in section 196. You also have to keep operating a trust account as required by section 211.

The Secretary can stop a suspension before it ends if they are happy with how things are resolved. If the Secretary is not happy, they can cancel your licence after the suspension period ends.

If the Secretary cancels your suspended licence, some rules from section 207(5) and (6) will apply. You will not get a refund of fees you paid for your licence if it is suspended, cancelled, or not renewed.
