Explanatory note

This Order amends the definition of “relevant state” in article 2(1)(d) of the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 (Transitional Provisions) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/1641) (“the 2014 Order”) so as to include a reference to the Isle of Man which was omitted in error.

The 2014 Order provides for the transitional arrangements that will 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”).

A full impact assessment of the effect that the 2014 Act and 2014 Order will have on the costs of business is available from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 100 Parliament Street, London SW1A 2BQ. This Order does not affect the costs as set out in that impact assessment.
