Home Licensing objectives

The Gambling Act 2005 requires that Premises Licences granted must be reasonably consistent with the licensing objectives which are:

  • Preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder, or being used to support crime
  • Ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way
  • Protecting children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling

Any conditions applied to a licence will seek to promote these objectives.

If you wish to make a relevant representation or call for a review of a licence you should indicate which of the objectives it relates to.

Further information on the objectives is available from the links below.
