Good evening (or day- if it's not evening) It's great to be back, not really been on here much but its been at least a year since I last posted so I hope everyone's well!!

 

I have a few questions I'd like to pose. I want to start housing some machines in Hotels and B&Bs in and around Blackpool. Now, I know I need a (or more than one) Licence. But which one??

 

I've spent probably hours looking through the gambling commission web site looking at them, but there seems to be so many different one, I wouldn't even know which one I need, and the cost...

 

So I was hoping someone here could shine a light on this and a cost estimation

 

Cheers

Assuming you are planning on supplying multiple machines/outlets then you will need a Gaming Machine Technical (Supplier) License.
If your total annual sales are less than £500,000 then these fees apply:

You don't normally need a Personal Management License unless the business includes more than 3 people.

Also sites will need gaming permits if your going by the book.

Thanks for your help.. now I know which license I would need and it's less than I thought.

I know sites will need licenses too, most have them attached with their bar one, letting them hold 3 max.

It's just whether is worth the £1000. Suppose it's down to how many locations I have

The actual building needs a gaming permit granted by the council, you need to apply.
