Conditions

Club Machine Permits have the following conditions:

• no child or young person uses a category B or C machine on the premises
• the holder complies with any relevant provision of a code of practice about the location and operation of gaming machines (issued by the Gambling Commission)

A permit will last for 10 years, unless issued under the Fast Track procedure in which case the permit lasts for as long as the Club Premises Certificate (issued under the Licensing Act 2003) is in force.

There is an annual fee for this type of permit, the first of which must be paid within 30 days of the permit becoming effective. A permit can be cancelled if the holder fails to pay the annual fee (unless the failure is as the result of an administrative error).
