UKGC explains permit and machine requirements for unlicensed family entertainment centres
By SectorWire desk · · Updated
Summary
UKGC guidance says unlicensed family entertainment centres need local licensing authority permits, which last 10 years unless surrendered or allowed to lapse. These venues may offer only category D machines; their operators do not need UKGC operating licences, but their machine suppliers do.
Why it matters
UFEC operators need local permits and may offer only category D machines, while their machine suppliers need UKGC operating licences.
