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.

619 | Non-remote bingo operating licence | Ancillary activities | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/licences-and-fees/non-remote-bingo | 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**
**There is no annual fee for the bingo ancillary operating licence.**

* you hold a gambling software operating licence
* you do not contract directly with any of the customers who play the bingo games you provide that is only customers of another operator can access your bingo facilities via that other operator-s website or app.

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

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.

654 | Non-remote linked licences gambling software | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/licences-and-fees/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.

|
655 | Non-remote linked licences gambling software | Restrictions on the activities that can be conducted under linked licences | https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/licences-and-fees/non-remote-linked-licences-gambling-software | 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 restrictions outlined previously, 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.
