Gambling Act 2005

Section 180: Pool betting on dog races

472.This section contains a transitional measure for holders of dog-track betting premises licences. Holders of all betting premises licences (other than for a dog-track) may not permit pool betting on dog races to take place on their premises, unless it is in accordance with arrangements made with the occupier of the dog track on which the races take place. This means that a high street betting office cannot be used for pool betting on dog racing, unless it is covered by arrangements made between that office, and the relevant dog-track.

473.The Secretary of State can repeal this measure, and, in any event, the section lapses after 31st December 2012.
