If you are considering setting up a business which contains any aspect of gambling you should be fully aware of the legal implications and obligations you will be bound to.
Our commercial solicitors will review your business plan in confidence, discuss it with you in detail (either in a meeting or by phone) to determine its legality, advise on associated licensing requirements and whether you could make any subtle changes to render your scheme legal or simplify any licensing issues.
- Betting, Gaming and Lotteries: We advise on the legality of remote gambling and non-remote gambling operations under the Gambling Act 2005. We cover casino games, equal chance gaming, poker, bingo, lotteries, betting and prize competitions.
- Skill Competitions and Free Prize Draws: If genuine and properly constructed, skill competitions and free prize draws fall outside of the Gambling Act and do not require a licence.
For more information or to speak to one of our commercial solicitors, please contact Simon Halberstam at shalberstam@kingsleynapley.co.uk or on 020 7814 1258.
