Part 9 of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”) enables a person holding an operating licence to give a temporary use notice in respect of premises. The effect of the notice is to authorise the premises to be used during the period specified in the notice for carrying on gambling activities without an offence being committed under section 37 of the Act (which makes it unlawful to use premises for providing facilities for gambling without the appropriate premises licence). These Regulations provide that a fee of £350 will be payable on giving a temporary use notice in relation to premises in Scotland.
