The Gambling (Personal Licences) (Modification of Part 5 of the Gambling Act 2005) Regulations 2006
Part 6 of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”) establishes a regime for licensing personnel working in the gambling industry (personal licences), to be regulated by the Gambling Commission. Section 128 of the Act provides that the provisions of Part 5 of the Act, in relation to operating licences, are to apply to a personal licence as they apply to an operating licence, subject to certain exceptions. One of those exceptions is where Part 6 of the Act expressly modifies or excludes a provision of Part 5. A second exception is where the Secretary of State makes specific modifications or exclusions by means of secondary legislation. These Regulations therefore specify a number of exclusions and modifications to Part 5 of the Act, as it is to apply to personal licences.
