Permits & Notifications

If you decide to have Gaming Machines supplied to your premises, you will need to obtain the relevant Permit or Notification from your local licensing authority.

If you currently hold a premises licence, you will need “notification for 2 or less” which confirms your automatic entitlement for up to two gaming machines from categories D and C. This is most common for all Public Houses. If you wish to have more than two gaming machines, you will need to contact your local licensing authority for information on additional entitlements.

If you currently hold a Club Premises licence, you will need either a “Club Gaming Permit” or a “Club Machine Permit”. These will entitle your premises up to three gaming machines from categories D, C, B4 and B3A. Please note the entitlement for a B3A machine is limited to one per Club and only to Clubs who are NOT commercial Clubs.
