Paterson'S Gambling Law

Get to grips with the latest regulatory developments affecting the politically contentious worlds of gambling and liquor licensing

Introduction

The dynamic nature of the gambling sector means that the boundaries of the Gambling Act 2005 are constantly being tested. The controversy surrounding applications to split premises continues with the recent case of Harpers Leisure International Limited v Guildford Borough Council raising significant questions concerning the definition of premises.

Distinguishing between skill with prize machines and other machines also continues to cause problems for practitioners. In the online space, an announcement from DCMS concerning the consultation on the future of remote gambling in the UK is expected imminently.

Practitioners also need to be aware of the increasing impact of ECJ decisions and how these impact gambling law in various European jurisdictions.
