203A: Significant changes in relation to licensed promoter’s licence must be notified

You could also call this:

"Tell the government about big changes to your gambling promoter's licence"

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

If you have a licensed promoter's licence, you must tell the Secretary about any significant changes. You need to provide details of these changes, which can be things like updates to the information you gave when you applied for the licence. You must do this before the changes happen, or as soon as you can after they happen.

When you notify the Secretary of changes, it is like applying for a new licence, and the same rules apply, as stated in section 200. The Secretary can ask you to update your licence, using section 205A, because of the changes you told them about. The Secretary can also stop or cancel your licence, using section 206 or section 207, if they think it is necessary after you notify them of changes.
