Consultation on club and pub gaming: Summary table of responses and list of respondents
Part 12 of the Gambling Act 2005 contains a variety of provisions about gaming in clubs and other premises, like pubs, that are licensed for the sale of alcohol.
Gaming, of one kind or another, has been a long-standing and popular activity in most clubs and pubs, and the provisions in Part 12 have, for the most part, been designed to maintain the current position. This consultation paper provides details of the new statutory regime for gaming in clubs and pubs, draws attention to any changes from the current position under the Gaming Act 1968, and sets out a series of proposals for the detailed regulations that are needed to give effect to the Act’s provisions.
