Open events
What is an open event?
An opportunity for smaller licensed operators to air concerns
and suggestions regarding compliance with the Gambling Act 2005. At
the same time we will update attendees on our developing
approach to risk based regulation.
This is part of a nationwide exercise to develop our relationship
with smaller licensed operators - without relying on time
consuming compliance visits.
Why should I come along?
Key decision makers from the Commission will be available
alongside your local compliance manager. We will cover a range of
topics, selected following feedback from operators, and including
fees, keeping children out, regulatory returns and effective
self-exclusion.
We are also inviting suggestions on topics to be discussed via
bookings. Specific sessions will be available for on-course
bookmakers, arcades and off-course bookmakers.
