501 | Our approach to preventing money laundering | Investigation and enforcement powers | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/approach-to-preventing-money-laundering | We have the power to make use of a range of investigation and enforcement tools when looking into suspected failures in the anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing controls of casinos. We may:
* inspect any part of the premises including gaming machines
* question any person on the premises
* inspect any written or electronic records
* demand a copy of an entry in a written or electronic records
* remove and retain anything reasonably believed to constitute or contain evidence of the committing of an offence under the Act, or the breach of a term or condition of a licence issued under the Act
* remove and retain anything reasonably believed to be used or having been used in the committing of an offence under the Act.
|
502 | Our approach to preventing money laundering | Regulatory action | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/approach-to-preventing-money-laundering | We recognise that a [risk-based approach](/guidance/duties-and-responsibilities-under-the-proceeds-of-crime-act-2002/poca-part-1-7-risk-based-approach) is not a zero-failure regime. Therefore, failures in anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing controls will not automatically result in regulatory sanctions.
We will take robust action, in collaboration with law enforcement, against casino operators who demonstrate persistent or material breaches of the Regulations.
Supervisors like us have the power to impose effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions for non-compliance with anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing requirements.
Therefore, we are able to:
* commence a review into the manner in which a casino has carried on licensed activities and prepare a case for regulatory sanctions
* suspend or revoke an operating licence
* impose a financial penalty on the licence holder.
We have similar powers to review personal licences and to either suspend or revoke, or impose a financial penalty on the licence holder.

512 | Paying fees | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/page/paying-fees | You can pay for all applications and personal maintenance checks submitted online, using a credit or debit card when you submit your application.
If you make changes to your licence which require a fee to be paid, these can be paid when the change is made, online, using a credit or debit card.
Application fees must be paid with the application, so the Commission does not send out invoices for application fees. We only send invoices for annual fees.
However, once an application and fee payment is received, the invoice number is viewable online in eServices.
## Pay operating fees online
> We do not accept American Express, Visa Electon cards or cheques.
>
>
## 3D Secure
## Third party payments no longer accepted
## Paying by bank transfer

|
513 | Paying fees | Pay operating fees online | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/page/paying-fees | You can pay invoices and annual fees online in eServices.
[Start](/service/operator-eservices) |
514 | Paying fees | 3D Secure | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/page/paying-fees | All our online payments use [3D Secure (opens in a new tab)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-D_Secure) . This adds an extra level of security for the payment and prevents fraudulent card use.
The card you use to make payments online must be registered to you and you may be required to authorise the payment using a banking app, verifying a code or entering a PIN or password as part of the payment process.
|
515 | Paying fees | Third party payments no longer accepted | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/page/paying-fees | Just as we expect operators to do, the Commission must counteract any potential attempts at money laundering through the Commission, both within and outside the UK.
> The Commission no longer accepts third party payments for the payment of application and licence fees except for payments from solicitors who are subject to scrutiny by independent authorities.
>
>
Employees of gambling organisations who are applying for a personal licence or whose maintenance fee for that personal licence is due, must make the payment themselves.
|
516 | Paying fees | Paying by bank transfer | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/page/paying-fees | Where applications or changes are made via paper or offline, you can pay fees by bank transfer.
Make sure you include your account number if you have one ( [how to find your account number](/licensees-and-businesses/page/find-your-account-number) ) and the full name of the licensee or applicant in the payment details or we will not be able to apply the payment and the application will not be processed.

### Change of Corporate Control
For details on what a change of corporate control is and how to tell us about it, read our [Change of Corporate Control guidance](/licensees-and-businesses/guide/change-of-corporate-control) .
### Change of Legal Entity
For details on what a change of legal entity is and how to tell us about it, read our [Change of Legal Entity guidance](/licensees-and-businesses/page/change-of-legal-entity) .
### Operating name changes
Operating name changes only apply to companies. Sole proprietors and partnerships must see [Change of Legal Entity guidance](/licensees-and-businesses/page/change-of-legal-entity) .
If the company number has changed as well as the name, your existing licence automatically lapses and you must [apply for a new operating licence online](/service/apply-for-an-operating-licence) .
Cost: £40 per licence
### Add, change or remove a licence condition
If you want to add, change or remove a licence condition (other than the condition relating to your fee category), you must supply relevant supporting evidence that demonstrates why the condition should be added, changed or removed.
For example, if your application is to add a condition to allow a company to [operate under another company-s licence](/licensees-and-businesses/page/operating-under-another-companys-licence) , you must demonstrate how that company meets our general principles for this.
If your application is to remove a condition attached as a result of a [review of the licence under s116 of the Gambling Act 2005](/policy/licensing-compliance-and-enforcement-under-the-gambling-act-2005/5-regulatory-enforcement) , you must provide evidence that demonstrates that you have complied with that condition.
Cost: if the condition relates to one licensed activity, it will cost 25 percent of the application fee for the related activity. If the condition relates to multiple licensed activities, it will cost 25 percent of the highest application fee for the activities to which the condition relates.
### Adding a person to Schedule X
[Schedule X changes](/licensees-and-businesses/guide/page/adding-or-removing-a-named-person-to-your-licence-schedule-x) only apply to Small Scale Operators (SSO). Schedule X names the people who occupy the key management positions (key persons).

To add a person to Schedule X, the person to be added must complete an Annex A. They must do this online through the [apply for a personal licence service](/service/apply-for-a-personal-licence) .
Adding a key person also requires a [key event](/licensees-and-businesses/guide/key-events-for-operators) to be submitted.
Cost: £160 per person per licence. Where multiple licences are held, a £40 fee will be charged for any additional licences. Where the personal to be added is already approved, it will cost £40 per person per licence.
If by adding a person you have more than three people in relevant management positions, you are no longer an SSO. You must apply to vary the licence to remove Schedule X and all new people in relevant management positions must [apply for Personal Management Licences (PML)](/licensees-and-businesses/guide/personal-management-licence) . Existing people in key management positions have three years from the date you ceased to be SSO to apply for PMLs.

It only ceases to have effect if it is:

566 | Non-remote general betting standard operating licence | Ancillary activities | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/licences-and-fees/non-remote-general-betting-standard-operating-licence | 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.
