Licensing Board Policy Consultation: Gambling – closes 22 June 2025

Adapted from the post on the Council’s Consultation Hub, the Licensing Board is interested in the public’s views on its Gambling Policy Statement.

Closing date for online submissions:  22 June 2025.

Should you wish to share your views/concerns with NTBCC, please contact us by email to licensing@ntbcc.org.uk


The policy statement forms the basis upon which the Board considers applications for premises licences for venues such as betting shops, bingo halls, casinos, gaming machines in entertainment centres and pubs, and a range of other matters.

The policy does not cover matters which are the responsibility of the Gambling Commission and in addition the Licensing Board has a separate policy on alcohol licensing which does not form part of this consultation.

The Board invites comments on the terms of the current Gambling Policy Statement, having already agreed that it will be updated to take account of changes to guidance issued by the Gambling Commission.
