Gambling premises licences and permits

Applying for a gambling premises licence or permit, and what you need to do.

Reinstating a lapsed premises licence

If your premises licence has lapsed within the last 6 months, you can apply for reinstatement.

You'll need to:

  • complete the reinstatement form (including for vessels)
  • provide a copy of the original licence (or explain why it's not available)
  • give notice to some responsible authorities (we can provide a list)

You do not need to advertise publicly.

Contact our licensing department for more information and application forms.
