GAMBLING ACT 2005
- The Act is a piece of legislation that brings practically all gambling (other than the National Lottery and spread betting) under the ambit of one Act and one regulator, the Gambling Commission. When the relevant provisions of the Act come into force, the Gambling Commission will take over from the existing Gaming Board and will assume responsibility for all forms of gambling, including betting. The Gambling Commission will be the body responsible for issuing operating licences and personal licences under the new Act (local licensing authorities will issue premises licences). In addition, the Gambling Commission will issue codes and guidelines setting out how the wide-ranging provisions of the new legislation will be applied in practice. The Commission will also advise the Secretary of State on its adoption of secondary legislation as contemplated by the Act.
