Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Gaming (Bingo) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the 1987 Regulations”) with effect from 1st August 2003.
Regulation 2 prescribes:
(a)£10 per day as the maximum amount a person may be charged for admission to bingo club premises; and
(b)£5 as the maximum amount a person may be charged for each chance to participate in a game of bingo on those premises.
These provisions replace the requirement in the 1987 Regulations that the aggregate bingo charges, during a charging period of at least two hours duration, should not exceed £10.
Regulation 2 also makes new provision, requiring the display of:
(a)a notice of the admission charge at or near the principal entrance to the bingo club premises;
(b)in the case of other charges in respect of gaming by way of bingo, a notice, at the payment point or main payment point, showing:
(i)the date from which the notice is operative;
(ii)the name of each ticket or game (or set of tickets or games) to be played during the currency of the notice;
(iii)the cost to a player of each ticket or game (or set of tickets or games) i.e. stake and participation charge;
(iv)the participation charge which can be made for each ticket or game (or set of tickets or games);
(v)a statement that all or part of the charge may be waived.
The notices may be in electronic form.
Regulation 3 specifies the information to be displayed before each game of bingo, or series of games, has ended. This information may be displayed in electronic form.
Regulation 4 revokes the Gaming (Bingo) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 and the Gaming (Bingo) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001.
