EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide the fee that will be payable when bringing an appeal to the Gambling Appeals Tribunal (‘the Tribunal’) under section 141 of the Gambling Act 2005 (c. 19). The level of fee will depend on whether the licence is an operating licence or a personal licence and also on the type of operating or personal licence that is the subject matter of the appeal. An appeal can also be brought against an order by the Gambling Commission to void a bet. Appeals brought as regards an order to void a bet can be brought by a party to the bet or to any contract or other arrangement in relation to that bet.
The Regulations provide that no fee will be payable when a person is in receipt of a qualifying benefit listed in regulation 3. A fee can also be reduced or waived when the Tribunal is satisfied that undue hardship would be caused to the appellant. An appellant can apply to the Tribunal to have any fee paid by him refunded in accordance with the grounds stated in regulation 5.
