Guidance

Guidance to licensing authorities

The Gambling Commission's guidance for licensing authorities.

Contents


2 - Protection of children and young persons

19.4. Children and young persons are not permitted to enter premises with a betting premises licence, although exemptions apply to tracks, as explained in Part 20 of this guidance, and s.46 and s.47 of the Act set out offences of inviting, causing or permitting a child or young person to gamble, or to enter certain gambling premises. Social Responsibility (SR) code 3.2.7(3) in the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) states that ‘licensees must ensure that their policies and procedures take account of the structure and layout of their gambling premises’ in order to prevent underage gambling. Children and young persons are not allowed to be employed at premises with a betting premises licence.
