Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Gambling (Personal Licence Fees) Regulations 2006 (“the Personal Licence Fees Regulations”) and the Gambling (Operating Licence and Single-Machine Permit Fees) Regulations 2006 (“the Operating Licence Fees Regulations”).

The Personal Licence Fees Regulations prescribe application, maintenance and other fees relating to personal licences issued under Part 6 of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”).

The Operating Licence Fees Regulations prescribe fees relating to operating licences and single-machine supply and maintenance permits issued under Parts 5 and 10 of the Act respectively.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 4(3)(b) of the Personal Licence Fees Regulations by reducing the maintenance fee in respect of a personal functional licence from £185 to £145.

Regulation 4 amends regulation 13A of the Operating Licence Fees Regulations so as to broaden the circumstances in which no fees are payable in respect of a general betting (standard)(remote platform) operating licence. This occurs if a person who applies for or holds that licence also holds or successfully applies for a remote general betting (limited) operating licence, non-remote general betting (standard) operating licence or non-remote general betting (limited) operating licence. The amendment made by regulation 5 follows from the amendments made by regulation 4.

Regulation 7 amends regulation 24 of the Operating Licence Fees Regulations so that where an application is made under section 104(1)(b) of the Act to vary a non-remote general betting (standard) operating licence or a non-remote general betting (limited) operating licence, there is no fee for any identical application to vary a general betting (standard)(remote platform) operating licence.

The amendments made by regulations 6, 8 and 9 to the Operating Licence Fees Regulations clarify matters (regulation 6) and correct drafting errors made (regulations 8 and 9) in the Operating Licence Fees Regulations by the Gambling (Operating Licence and Single-Machine Permit Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/829).

A full impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs of business is available from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport website (www.culture.gov.uk) and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside these Regulations at www.legislation.gov.uk.
