Details

Following a licence review, the Commission determined to revoke the Personal Functional Licence (PFL) of Miss Tamara Simmers (the Licensee) under the provisions of section 117 and section 119 of the Gambling Act 2005 (the Act). The Commission found;

  • the Licensee repeatedly failed to inform the Commission of reportable Key Events within the required timeframe which are breaches of her licence. Through these repeated failures, the Licensee has demonstrated a persistent lack of insight or understanding of the seriousness of what happened, the reasons that led up to a problem or the consequences
  • the Licensee has been convicted of offences listed under Schedule 7 – Relevant Offences of the Gambling Act 2005. As such, the Licensee is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities
  • the offences of which the Licensee has been convicted are inconsistent with the first licensing objective of preventing gambling being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder, or being used to support crime. As such, a licensed activity is being or has been carried on in a manner which is inconsistent with the licensing objectives

For the reasons set out above the Licensee is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities.
