- casino
- bingo hall
- betting shop
- betting (track) - sporting venues not just tracks
- amusement arcade (for adults only, or where adult machines are provided)
Every premises that requires a premises licence will also need an operators licence. Many will also require personal licences, though there are some exemptions for small operators. Applications for operator and personal licences will need to be made to the Gambling Commission for these licences.
