You cannot start running your gambling business until you have obtained all the necessary licences.
If you would like to run a casino or offer casino games (for example poker), you need an operating licence from us.
You will need to pay a fee to apply for a casino operating licence. You should pay your operating licence application fee at the same time as you submit your operating licence application.
You will need to pay your first annual fee to the Gambling Commission within 30 days, if we issue you with an operating licence. You will then need to pay an annual fee, before the anniversary date of the issue of your licence.
