215: Temporary licence

You could also call this:

"A temporary licence lets someone else run a gambling business for a short time if the main person can't."

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

The Secretary can let someone run a licensed promoter's business for up to 3 months. You might need this if something happens to the licensed promoter, like they die or become bankrupt. The Secretary can choose someone to run the business, and that person must send a copy of their application to the Police.

If the Secretary says yes to the application, the person running the business is treated like the licensed promoter. The Secretary must tell the Police about the new arrangement, following the rules in section 202. You can be the one to run the business if you are someone like the manager of the licensed promoter's estate, their personal representative, or a liquidator.

The person who runs the business must follow the same rules as the licensed promoter. The Secretary makes the decision about who can run the business, and they must tell the Police about it. This can happen if the licensed promoter is subject to a property order under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, or if they die, become bankrupt, or their company is put into liquidation.
