Find licensees

Find operating licence holders

The Gambling Commission publishes details of applicants for an operating licence (remote and non-remote). You can search for details of operators whose licences have been granted and applicants for a licence. Whilst an application is pending we give applicants the opportunity to ask for confidentiality if there are good reasons. As a result it may not provide comprehensive details of every application we have received.

Use the operator search to find licensees


Find personal licence holders

The Gambling Commission publishes a list of granted personal licences. This list displays the licensees in alphabetical order. There are two types of personal licence:

Personal Management Licence

A Personal Management Licence (PML) is required by all persons who occupy a specified management office in respect of the holder of an operating licence. Those who are responsible for such management functions, whatever their actual job title, will require PMLs, unless exempt under the small-scale operator exemption.

Personal Functional Licence

A Personal Functional Licence (PFL) is required by those individuals who perform any function which enables them to influence the outcome of gambling, or relating to the receiving or paying of money in connection with gambling.

Personal Licence Register


Premises licences

Information on premises licences can be obtained directly from the relevant licensing authority. In addition, the Gambling Commission holds a premises licence register consisting of information obtained directly from licensing authorities. The accuracy of the register is not therefore guaranteed by us.

Information on premises licences is available on request by telephoning us on 0121 230 6666.
