Licensing

Advising leading gambling businesses on gambling licensing, regulation, compliance and enforcement is what we do all day, every day. We have unparalleled licensing experience, having made a vast number of licence applications over many years, both for land-based and online clients, to the Gambling Commission and its predecessor the Gaming Board for Great Britain. Licensing and compliance go to the very heart of every business we act for because a licence is the most valuable asset of any gambling business, it is a privilege not a right and there are ever increasing regulatory requirements.

We assist gambling businesses at all stages of their development and frequently advise on:

  • Legal classification advice, assisting clients in developing and expanding their offering, including emerging technologies
  • All types of non-remote (generally meaning land-based) and remote (generally meaning online) operating licences to the Gambling Commission, including umbrella arrangements
  • All aspects of such applications, including types of licence(s) required, business plan requirements, policies, procedures and controls, corporate risk, management structure, corporate structure, source of funding, and terms and conditions
  • Liaising with the Gambling Commission to ensure a smooth application process
  • All types of applications to vary to the Gambling Commission
  • Personal licence and Annex A applications
  • Premises licence applications to local authorities
  • Policies, procedures and controls
  • Change of corporate control applications
  • Gambling Commission information requests
  • Regulatory panel hearings
  • Restructuring complex gambling businesses
  • Rationalising group licences 
  • Licensing implications of emerging technologies such as a blockchain-based casino
  • Acquisitions and disposals
  • Transaction due diligence
  • Investor due diligence
