Gaming machines

We issue licences for businesses with amusement machines which give out prizes on their premises within North Somerset.

Under the Gambling Act 2005 a licence is required for you to have one of these machines on your premises.

Gambling machines are being phased out in non-gambling premises under the Gambling Act 2005 and will not be allowed after 31 July 2009.

For further information please see the DCMS website.

Under the new Licensing Act 2003 all new gaming machine permits and renewals are now dealt with by our Licensing Team and are no longer obtained via the local magistrates' court.

However, an existing permit issued by the local court before November 2005 will remain valid until it expires.

For further information contact our Licensing Team on 01934 634 906.
