How much are operating licence fees - arcades?
You should pay your operating licence application
fee at the same time as you submit your operating licence
application.
You will also need to pay your first annual fee
to us within 30 days, if the Gambling Commission issues you with an
operating licence. You will then need to pay a fee every
year, before the anniversary date of our issuing
your licence.
