Find out what licences and permits are needed and how to apply to provide gambling facilities in premises in Torbay.
Under the Gambling Act 2005 there are three types of licences that are required to run facilities for gambling. You will need to apply direct to the Gambling Commision Opens in a new window for an Operator Licence and a Personal Licence. A number of activities only require a permit, which can be issued by us.
