Our Gambling team advises clients in the gaming and entertainment sectors on all issues arising under the Gambling Act 2005 including betting, lottery and hi-tech gaming advice. We advise on:
- lotteries
- prize draws and competitions
- operating, premises and personal licences
- online operations including offshore regulatory regimes
- house raffles
- arrangements for on-course bookmaking
- pyramid schemes
- poker and equal chance gaming in pubs clubs and hotels
- betting exchanges and illegal trading rooms
- gaming machines
- bingo
We are also able to provide advice on tax issues, corporate structure and company set up and data protection and IP/IT issues which are often also of importance to gambling operators, especially those who operate online.
We have advised racecourses, online operators, charities, trade bodies and private individuals as well as non-gambling sector companies wishing to run product promotions or games in the ordinary course of their business.
We understand the commercial objectives of our clients and have experience of balancing these objectives with the regulatory requirements clients must comply with.
