International Association of Gaming Regulators Multi-Jurisdictional Business Form Guidance Notes

Operating Licence International Association of Gaming Regulators Multi-Jurisdictional Business Form Guidance Notes Who should complete this form? Anyone who wishes to provide facilities for gambling or manufacture, supply, install, repair or adapt a gaming machine or gambling software (unless an exception applies) needs to apply for an Operating Licence from the Gambling Commission. Submitting this form alone is not sufficient to apply for an Operating Licence from the Gambling Commission. You MUST also complete and submit the British Gambling Commission Rider. Your application will not be considered unless both forms have been submitted. Before completing this form please check whether you require an Operating Licence. Information about the need for a licence is available on our website www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk or by contacting our Contact Centre on 0121 230 6666. An Operating Licence is either remote or non-remote. Operators may hold a single activity Operating Licence or a Combined Operating Licence authorising more than one gambling activity. However, a licence can only contain remote or non-remote activities and not a mixture of the two different types. An operator can hold both remote and non-remote licences but they will always be separate licences. General information This guidance has been written to help you complete the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) Multi-Jurisdictional Business Form when making an application to the Gambling Commission for an operating licence. Please read this document carefully before you attempt to answer any questions. If there are any changes to your circumstances or if any of the information contained within this form changes during the period between submitting your application and your application being determined, (for example, if you are charged with or convicted of an offence) you must notify the Gambling Commission immediately. Your application will not be considered unless all relevant questions have been completed and the application fee has been paid in full. Failure to provide the relevant information or to provide further information when requested by the Gambling Commission may result in your application being determined based on the information available at the time which may affect the outcome of your application, including whether a licence can be granted. If you misrepresent, or fail to reveal information that you are asked to provide, you may have committed an offence under Section 342 of the Gambling Act 2005. What the Gambling Commission expects from applicants for licences The Gambling Commission expects applicants for licences to: Be able to demonstrate that they can meet the Gambling Commission s suitability assessment; Ensure that the activities they plan to carry out will be conducted in a manner which minimises the risks to the licensing objectives; Work with the Gambling Commission in an open and cooperative way; and Disclose to the Gambling Commission anything which we would reasonably expect to know. How is your application assessed? The Gambling Commission will take a number of factors into consideration whilst processing your application. Your application will be assessed against five basic areas: Identity and ownership The identity of the applicant and any person(s) relevant to the application will be established and verified using appropriate official documentation. The ownership of a corporate applicant will be investigated and all major shareholders identified. The Gambling Commission will check company and director records to ensure that the correct entity is being licensed, and also to check any related companies or directors. The Gambling Commission will also wish to establish who benefits from the gambling services and facilities provided, and therefore requires that any shareholder with a 3% or more share is listed and that those with over a 10% share complete an Annex A form to enable further checks to be carried out on them. If the beneficiary of any business is a Trust, we will require details of the beneficiaries of that Trust. If the applicant is a company based overseas, or part of the company structure is based overseas, we require a full description of the company structure, and may carry out checks with overseas regulators. IAGR Multi-Jurisdictional Business Form - Guidance Notes v1.0draft Page 1 of 27

Finances The past and present financial circumstances of the applicant and any person(s) relevant to the application will be investigated in order to ensure that sufficient resources are in place to carry out the licensed activities. The source of funding for the applicant, their business plan, and their projections of future financial performance will also be used to assess this application. The Gambling Commission will ask for accounts from existing businesses or financial projections where the applicant is a new business. Our main focus is on assessing the source of funding and the resources likely to be available to enable a licensee to carry on the licensed activities. Integrity The integrity of the applicant and any person(s) relevant to the application will be assessed using a variety of means. The Gambling Commission will consider whether the information it collects raises any concerns about integrity. This includes an assessment of an applicant s criminal record, and any past involvement in civil or regulatory investigations or proceedings. We will also consider the manner by which the applicant has conducted their business with specific regard to the provision of gambling in other jurisdictions. The Gambling Commission will also review any complaints about the applicant and/or investigations by other regulators, and we will investigate any history of business failure. Competence The experience, expertise, and qualifications of the applicant and any person(s) relevant to the application will be taken into consideration when rating their overall competence to hold an Operating Licence and minimise the risks to the licensing objectives. The Gambling Commission will take up references and may review the CVs of the applicant or other relevant persons to assess their work experience and the training they have received which demonstrates their competence to carry out the role required of them. Criminality Any prior offences committed by the applicant and any person(s) relevant to the application will be taken into account when assessing an application for an Operating Licence. Any previous offences do not mean that the application will automatically be refused. Each case will be considered on its individual merits, and consideration will be given to the seriousness, relevance and date of the conviction. In evaluating the seriousness and relevance of an offence, the Commission s assessment will focus on whether the conviction has a potential bearing on suitability to hold a licence and will have regard to the public interest, which includes taking account of: The protection of the public; The maintenance of public confidence; The importance of upholding proper standards of conduct and competence by licensees. These will be assessed using both the information provided as part of the application and also information available from other sources (eg government departments, overseas regulators). Further information on how your application is assessed can be found in the Licensing, Compliance and Enforcement Policy Statement which is available on our website www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk. For every application, the Gambling Commission has the power to: Grant a licence on a remote or non-remote basis; Limit the scope of licensed activities that can be carried out in accordance with a licence; or Refuse a licence where there are reasons to do so. What the Gambling Commission expects from licensees: The Gambling Commission has three licensing objectives: Preventing gambling from being a source of crime and disorder, being associated with crime and disorder, or being used to support crime; Ensuring that gambling is being conducted in a fair and open way; and Protecting children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling. The Gambling Commission expects licensees to conduct their gambling operations in a way that does not put these licensing objectives at risk. The Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) are designed to ensure this. The Gambling Commission also expects those holding licences to: Conduct all their business lawfully; Conduct all their business with integrity; Act with due care, skill and diligence; Take care to organise and control their affairs responsibly and effectively, and have adequate systems and controls to minimise the risks to the licensing objectives; Maintain adequate financial resources; Have due regard to the interests of customers and treat them fairly; Have due regard to the information needs of customers and communicate with them in a way that is clear, not misleading, and allows them to make a properly informed judgement about whether to gamble; Manage conflicts of interest fairly; Work with the Gambling Commission in an open and cooperative way; and Disclose to the Gambling Commission anything which we would reasonably expect to know.

Question A12(ii) (continued) The Gambling Commission requires a diagram illustrating the corporate management structure for the applicant which details the names of individuals who are involved in the management and operation of the applicant. An example of the type of diagram we require is included on page 13. This diagram will vary between applicants, but it should illustrate the structure of key people within the business, showing reporting lines down to area manager level. Please ensure the diagram includes the nominated officer for anti-money laundering and associated purposes within the structure and that their reporting line is clearly illustrated (further details regarding the nominated officer are provided below). The structure should also identify the people with overall responsibility for the management functions (qualifying positions). The management functions (qualifying positions) are: Overall strategy and delivery of gambling operations; Financial planning, control and budgeting; Marketing and commercial development; Regulatory compliance; Gambling related IT provision and security; Management of the licensed activity for a particular locality or area in Great Britain in which you have five or more sets of premises for which you hold a premises licence; or Management of a single set of casino or bingo licensed premises. A commentary should also be provided within the business plan which gives a summary of the applicant s management and financial controls. This should describe the decision making and reporting procedures and include any contingency plans to cope with any disruptions. You should also state if you intend to change this over the next year and how. Nominated officer for Anti-Money Laundering and associated purposes For the Gambling Commission's purposes the role 'nominated officer for anti-money laundering and associated purposes' refers to the person who would be responsible for the applicant's anti-money laundering (AML), countering terrorist financing (CTF) and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (PoCA) activities. Please note, the individual who performs this role may have a different job title, such as Money Laundering Reporting Officer. For ALL casino applicants As part of the Money Laundering Regulations 2007, all remote and non-remote casinos are required to have a nominated officer for anti-money laundering. The nominated officer is responsible for the oversight of all aspects of the operator's anti-money laundering (AML) and countering terrorist financing (CTF) activities at all premises, and they are the focal point for all activity within the operator relating to AML. The individual appointed as nominated officer must have a sufficient level of seniority, and they must hold a Personal Management Licence (PML) issued by the Gambling Commission. Where a nominated officer is temporarily unavailable, another PML holder may deputise. Operators should therefore consider the appointment of a permanent deputy nominated officer. Please note, when there is any change in the identity of the person responsible for the applicant's anti-money laundering procedures and/or suspicious activity reporting, this must be reported to the Gambling Commission. For all other applicants Whilst it is only a requirement under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 for casino operators to appoint nominated officers, the Gambling Commission recommends that all operators should consider appointing a nominated officer, as this can help them meet their obligations under the Proceeds of Crime Act (PoCA) more effectively. The nominated officer should be of sufficient seniority to make decisions on reporting, which will have an impact on the operator's business relationship with its customers and its exposure to criminal, civil, regulatory and disciplinary sanctions. The nominated officer should also have sufficient responsibility to be allowed access to customer information and the operator's business information to enable informed decisions on suspicious activity to be made. Operators with chains of outlets may have an employee who holds a PML issued by the Gambling Commission who would be suitable to appoint as the nominated officer for that chain. In the case of small or solo operators, a person of reasonable standing in the business can act as the nominated officer.
