How much will my operating licence annual fees cost - betting?

operating licence. You will then need to pay an annual fee, before
the anniversary date of the issue of your licence.
Operating licence - annual fees
How much is the annual fee?
Your first annual fee is due 30 days after your licence is
issued to you.
For the first year, unless you are applying for a
remote licence, the annual
fees below will be reduced by 25% (ancillary and linked licence
annual fees are not subject to this reduction).
If you apply for a combination of different operating licences,
you will get a discount on your annual fee.
