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.

holders
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.
