Gambling Act 2005

Part 1: Gaming

754.Part 1 of the Schedule defines what private gaming constitutes for the purposes of the Act, and identifies two sub-sets of private gaming: domestic gaming and residential gaming.

755.Gaming is private gaming when:

  • it is equal chance gaming;

  • no charge is made for participation; and

  • the gaming is conducted entirely in private (i.e. in a place to which the public do not have access).

756.However, where private gaming meets the conditions for domestic or residential gaming, then there is no need for this to be equal chance gaming, and therefore bankers’ games and games of unequal chance may be played in these situations.
