 If you are applying for a  **non-remote general betting (standard) operating licence**  and want to offer facilities for betting by telephone or by email (where you would be manually processing the bet), you should apply for an ancillary remote licence in addition to your main licence.

 You may be able to apply for an ancillary remote licence if:

* the gross gambling yield from bets taken under your ancillary licence will be less than the gross gambling yield from bets taken under your non-remote operating licence

 And

* the gross gambling yield from bets taken under your ancillary licence will be less than £550,000 per annum.

 You will also need to apply for an operating licence if you intend to provide self-service betting terminals (bet receipt terminals) in any of your betting premises.

 With the exception of the previous restricted circumstances, set out in detail in regulation 16 of the current Fees Regulations (SI 2017 No.303), any other provision of facilities for remote gambling will require a full remote betting operating licence.

 We do not consider that providing software to customers in licensed betting premises, which the customers download onto their own devices to participate in remote gambling falls within the scope of any of the ancillary licences provided for by the Fees Regulations.

 **Ancillary remote application fee: £100**
 **There is no annual fee for this ancillary licence.**

 Activities you undertake in relation to these licences may bring with them other licensing requirements in relation to gaming machines or gambling software.

 If you apply for one of these licences you can also apply for  [linked licences](/licensees-and-businesses/licences-and-fees/non-remote-linked-licences-gaming-machine-technical)  if you intend to maintain the gaming machines on your betting premises yourself.

This licence allows you to run a pool betting business online (or through other means of remote communication).


 Previously, Betfred, trading as The Tote, held an exclusive licence (up to and including 12 July 2018) to offer pool betting in respect of British horse racing. Anyone other than The Tote required an authorisation from them to carry out pool betting on British horse racing.

 The expiry of the exclusive licence means that any authorisations granted are no longer effective.

 Since 13 July 2018 all holders of a pool betting operating licence will be able to offer pool betting in respect of British horse racing.

 If you are applying for a  **non-remote bingo operating licence**  and also want to offer bingo on the premises by means of electronic bingo terminals that link to live games (and which therefore use remote communication), you will need to also apply for an ancillary remote licence.

 With the exception of the restricted circumstances as stated previously, any other provision of facilities for remote gambling on bingo premises will require a remote bingo operating licence.

 For example, we do not consider that providing software to customers in licensed bingo premises, which the customers download onto their own devices to participate in remote gambling, falls within the scope of the bingo ancillary licence provided for by the Fees Regulations.

 **Ancillary remote application fee: £100**

Non-remote 2005 Act casino operating licence

Fees for non-remote Casino 2005 Act operating licences have been based on annual gross gambling yield (GGY) rather than the type of premises licence.


|  Fee category  |  Annual gross gambling yield  |  Application Fee  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  A1  |  Less than £5.5 million  |  £41,243  |
|  B1  |  £5.5 million or greater, up to but excluding £27.5 million  |  £41,243  |

 The first annual fee for a non-remote (  [2005 Act (opens in new tab)](http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/19/contents)  ) casino licence is due six months after the licence is issued to you. Subsequent annual fees are due every year before the anniversary of the day your licence was issued.

 The first annual fee (for the non-remote Casino 2005 Act operating licence only) will be reduced by 50 percent.

 If your casino is not operational, then subsequent annual fees will be reduced by 50 percent.

 We will consider your casino to have become operational twelve months  **before**  the planned opening date of the premises. So you must tell us the date you plan to start trading (this will be a condition of your licence, if granted).

 You must also notify us three months prior to your annual fee due date to confirm whether your casino is operational so that the correct annual fee is charged. We will contact you in writing for this information.

 If you have a combination of different kinds of licence, you will get a discount on your annual fee.

|  Fee category  |  Annual gross gambling yield  |  Annual Fee  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  A1  |  Less than £5.5 million  |  £24,971  |

 With the exception of the previously stated restricted circumstances, any other provision of facilities for remote gambling will require a remote casino operating licence.

 The ancillary licence does not authorise a remote link with gaming that takes place on another set of premises.

 The remote casino operating licence will be required (instead of an ancillary licence), in addition to a non-remote casino operating licence if you intend to link terminals located in one casino premises to gaming that takes place in another set of premises (for example, touch-bet roulette terminals in one casino linked to a roulette wheel in another casino).

Non-remote linked licences gambling software

If you already hold, or are applying for, a full operating licence you may also, in certain circumstances, apply for a linked licence.


Restrictions on the activities that can be conducted under linked licences

 A linked licence for gaming machines will allow you to supply, install, adapt, maintain or repair a gaming machine (or part of such a machine) but only in circumstances where you make those gaming machines available to customers on your own gambling premises (for example in an adult gaming centre or family entertainment centre)

 A linked licence for gambling software will allow you to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gambling software, but only in circumstances where the gambling software is used in connection with gambling facilities (for example an online casino or sportsbook) provided by you.

###  Financial restrictions on linked licences

 In order to ensure that linked licences are only used for activities that represent a small element of your business, there are financial restrictions.

 You cannot incur costs any greater than £50,000 per annum in any given year in pursuit of the activities authorised by the linked licence. The £50,000 cost includes for example the purchase of new parts or paying for new systems, along with labour costs.

Non-remote linked licences gaming machine technical

If you already hold, or are applying for, a full operating licence you may also, in certain circumstances, apply for a linked licence.


 A linked licence for gaming machines will allow you to supply, install, adapt, maintain or repair a gaming machine (or part of such a machine) but only in circumstances where you make those gaming machines available to customers on your own gambling premises (for example in an adult gaming centre or family entertainment centre).

 A linked licence for gambling software will allow you to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gambling software, but only in circumstances where the gambling software is used in connection with gambling facilities (for example an online casino or sportsbook) provided by you.


Financial restrictions on linked licences

 In order to ensure that linked licences are only used for activities that represent a small element of your business, there are financial restrictions.

 You cannot incur costs any greater than £50,000 per annum in any given year in pursuit of the activities authorised by the linked licence. The £50,000 cost includes for example the purchase of new parts or paying for new systems, along with labour costs.

 If your business conducts activities that exceed any of the previously stated restrictions, you will not be able to hold a linked licence and will instead need to apply for a gambling software or a gaming machine technical operating licence.


###  Gaming machines

* **Linked non-remote gaming machine technical (supplier)**
 Permits the supply, installation, adaptation, maintenance or repair of a gaming machine, or part of a gaming machine (including software) except where remote communication methods are used.

###  Gambling software

* **Linked non-remote gambling software**
 Permits the manufacture, supply, installation or adaptation of gambling software for use in connection with gambling facilities except where remote communication methods are used.

###  Examples of activities that may require a linked licence

* making changes that alter the category of the machine
* a linked licence is not required if you arrange for these actions to be carried out by the licensed manufacturer and/or supplier.

###  Actions that do not require a linked licence

* changing a power supply unit (like for like)
* where any device (storing game or system software) has been supplied directly from a technical licence holder for direct installation or use in automated installation, provided no modification of the software takes place outside the control of the technical licence holder and adequate security safeguards are used to ensure its continued integrity
* changing the front display of the machine (including glass or paper artwork but not software modifications for video display)
* changing display notices on the machine
* cleaning the machine
* clearing coin jams

* changing percentage, stake and/or prize settings (provided this does not require any software modification)
* swapping out components (like for like) provided that component cannot affect the outcome of the game (note acceptors, coin mechanisms etc) and that no software installation is required.

###  Linked licence application and annual fees
