Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 (Transitional Provisions) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/1641) (“the 2014 Order”) provides for the transitional arrangements that apply in respect of advance applications made under the Gambling Act 2005 for, or to vary, a remote operating licence in anticipation of the coming into force of the new licensing requirement in subsections 1(1) and (2) of the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”).

This Order amends the condition set out in article 3(2) of the 2014 Order for the issue of a continuation licence. The effect of the amendment is that advance applications made on or before 23rd October 2014 may now qualify for such a licence where that application has not been determined by the Gambling Commission on or before 1st November 2014.

A full impact assessment of the effect that the 2014 Act and 2014 Order will have on the costs of business is available on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s website. This Order does not affect the costs as set out in that impact assessment.
