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.
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.
What is Changing
The first change is the introduction of Local Area Profiles. The Local Area Profiles identify areas of concern to the Licensing Board. The Licensing Board would expect applicants and operators to take extra care when producing a risk assessment to identify in detail in the assessments all the measures they will put in place to mitigate the risks identified in the Local Area Profiles for the area to which the premise relates.
The second main change is to set out the Licensing Board’s commitment to exploring the possibility of setting up a Betwatch scheme in the Glasgow area.
