You could also call this:

"Changing a gambling promoter's licence: how to make changes to your licence"

If you have a licence to promote gambling and you want to make a change, you must ask the Secretary to amend your licence. You need to do this if the change will affect your ability to follow the Gambling Act or the conditions of your licence. You must use the standard form to apply for the amendment.

When you apply, the Secretary might send your application back if it is not complete, along with any documents and fees you sent. The Secretary will look at your application in a similar way to a new licence application, using sections like sections 200 and 201 of the Act.

The Secretary can refuse to amend your licence if they investigate and are not satisfied with some things, as outlined in section 201 of the Act.
