  • limit or restrict the nature or extent of the gambling facilities provided, or control the circumstances in which they are carried on;

  • make provision about the facilities that may be provided, the manner in which the facilities are provided or the number of people employed in providing facilities;

  • make provision about the financial resources available to the licensee, including the maintenance of reserves in respect of potential liabilities;

  • where it is a remote operating licence, may restrict the methods of remote communication that may be used;

  • make provision about the advertising or description of facilities for gambling (which could include the name given to a gambling product);

  • make provision about assistance to people who are or may be affected by problem gambling; and
