Gambling Act 2005

Section 128: Application of provisions of Part 5

360.The personal licensing system under Part 6 is not intended to be a free-standing regime in its own right, but instead sits alongside the regime for operating licences in Part 5. This section specifies that Part 6 is to be read as incorporating the features of the operating licence system, except where:

  • it is modified by Part 6, or as necessary; or

  • it is amended by regulations made by the Secretary of State.

361.As a result, the basic procedures for application for, determination of, and review of licences will be the same for both operating and personal licences, except where this Part (or the natural context) demands otherwise. Personal licences may be subject to general or specific conditions imposed by the Commission, or conditions imposed by the Secretary of State in regulations.

362.Personal licences are different to the ten types of operating licence specified in section 65(2).
