Gambling Policy Consultation

What do we want to know?: 

Under the Gambling Act 2005 the City of Glasgow Licensing Board has a number of important regulatory functions in relation to gambling activity in the city. These include licensing premises such as betting shops and bingo halls, regulating gaming and gaming machines in clubs and alcohol licensed premises, granting permits to family entertainment centres, granting permits for prize gaming, and registering small society lotteries. 

Your views

In accordance with the Act, the Licensing Board must prepare, consult on and publish a policy which it proposes to apply when exercising relevant gambling related functions. We are interested in your views on both the proposed changes to the policy statement and to the terms of the draft guidance. Proposed changes to the policy have been highlighted in yellow, both documents available below.

Please submit your views by email to licensingboard@glasgow.gov.uk or in writing to:-

City of Glasgow Licensing Board
City Chambers
George Square
Glasgow

Outcome: 

The Licensing Board will use the information you provide as part of the public consultation to review its policy and to finalise guidance for applicants and licence holders in relation to local area risk assessments.

The final policy and guidance will be published by the Licensing Board in April 2016.
