You need an operating licence from us if you currently run or want to run a gambling service through remote communication and any part of your remote equipment is based in Great Britain.
You cannot start running your gambling business until you have obtained all the necessary licences.
You will need to pay a fee to apply for a remote 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.
