Response

Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

In your email you have requested an up to date list of licensed betting offices in the U.K or any premises with a gambling license to gamble on that location. Specifically:

• Full address and postcode.
• Year the office was licensed.

Finally, how often is this information updated?

Section 21 of the FOIA provides that information is exempt where it is reasonably accessible elsewhere. The Gambling Commission publishes a live register of gambling premises on its website:

Register of gambling businesses.

This information is updated nightly. The register is published with the caveat that the Gambling Commission cannot provide any assurances on the completeness and accuracy of this data.

The Commission does not issue premises licences. The licensing of premises for gambling businesses is the responsibility of local licensing authorities (normally the Local Authority for the area where the business is located). You should contact individual licensing authorities to obtain more detailed information about premises licences.

You can find your local licensing authority on GOV.UK (opens in a new tab).

Review of the decision

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your Freedom of Information request you are entitled to an internal review of our decision. You should write to FOI Team, Gambling Commission, 4th floor, Victoria Square House, Victoria Square, Birmingham, B2 4BP or by reply to this email.

Please note, internal review requests should be made within 40 working days of the initial response. Requests made outside this timeframe will not be processed.

If you are not content with the outcome of our review, you may then apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have already exhausted the review procedure provided by the Gambling Commission.

The ICO can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office (opens in a new tab), Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
