Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If you commit an infringement offence under the Gambling Act 2003, you have to pay an infringement fee. The fee you pay is the one listed for that offence in Schedule 6 or in regulations made under section 360.

When you pay the infringement fee, it goes to the Secretary, and they must put it into a Crown Bank Account. This also applies if the fee is recovered under the Summary Proceedings Act 1957.

The Secretary has to pay all the infringement fees they receive into a Crown Bank Account.
