Revocation of Test House approval

If the Gambling Commission has concerns about a Test Houses’ ability to meet the requirements we will investigate and potentially suspend or revoke approval. We will provide the Test House with an opportunity to explain their circumstances, and provide supporting documentation if appropriate, before a final decision is made.

The criteria which might result in suspension and/or revocation are:

  • concerns about the suitability of the Test House or a person of influence1 at the Test House
  • concerns about the independence of the Test House, or a person of influence, from the gambling industry
  • the Test House is not currently providing services, and has no immediate intention to provide services, to GB licensees
  • the Test House fails to become accredited to the correct standards, or loses its accreditation
  • the services the Test House are providing fall below the standard that the Commission expects
  • the Test House fails to adhere to reporting requirements.

References

1Examples of a person of influence include a person who is employed by the Test House in one of the key positions identified by the Commission, and an owner of the Test House.
