209: Appeal to Gambling Commission regarding licensed promoter’s licence

You could also call this:

"Appealing a decision about your gambling licence to the Gambling Commission"

If you apply for a licensed promoter's licence or already have one, you can appeal to the Gambling Commission if the Secretary makes a decision you do not agree with. The Secretary's decision might be to refuse your licence, change the conditions of your licence, not renew your licence, suspend your licence, or cancel it. You can appeal against these decisions.

You must write to the Gambling Commission to appeal, and you must do this within 15 working days of the Secretary's decision. If you need more time, you can ask the Gambling Commission for an extension, as long as you ask within the 15 working days.

The Gambling Commission will look at your appeal and can ask you, the licensed promoter, or the Secretary for more information. They do not have to follow a specific process or hold a hearing to make a decision. The Gambling Commission must think about all the information they get before making a decision.

The Gambling Commission can then decide to agree with the Secretary's decision, change it, or cancel it. They can also send the decision back to the Secretary and ask them to think about it again.

The Gambling Commission must tell you and the Secretary what they decide, and why they made that decision.
