Gambling License In UK

[Roden]

I was thinking about if when i was older i could open a poker hall. But i dont really know, how you appeal for a gambling license to cover poker games and what it would require to qualify for one.

If anybody knows a website with the information or knows a bit themsleves i would be very grateful to hear from you.

You have chosen the wrong time to ask your question. The Gambling Act 2005 takes effect later this year (September)and changes the law considerably. The law is out there but needs 45 different sets of regulations before it starts and most of these are still being written. There is a paper out there which is consulting on the offering of poker in pubs and clubs and this is available on the Department of Culture Media and Sport website www.culture.gov.uk for you to see. Again, your query is a bit early.
