Gambling

We go above and beyond pure legal advice by providing supplementary services to our clients to assist them with staying abreast of legal and regulatory developments and priorities. In the present regulatory environment which includes the review of numerous personal licence holders, non-compliance is expensive, meaning prevention is certainly better than cure. To minimise this risk, we offer various training services with the aim of ensuring that personal licence holders, other key staff (for example, compliance, IT developers, commercial or other support staff) or a gambling business’ Board or Compliance Committee, understand the obligations and responsibilities that come with being licensed by the Gambling Commission.

It is, of course, these individuals who make the decisions concerning the gambling business, and, therefore, these individuals who will determine whether or not the licence holding entity is compliant. Increasingly, the Gambling Commission is focused on holding leaders in gambling businesses to account, with the aim to improve Board focus on, and accountability for, the licensing objectives, and encouraging them to set the tone from the top and lead a culture of compliance.

Our training is very much tailored to our clients’ needs and, in most cases, based on our extensive knowledge working closely with them. Our training services include:

• Devising training programmes, including assessing training needs, reviewing existing internal training materials, evaluation of training and how clients embed training within their businesses
• Basic training, refresher training or advanced training
• Training on key licensing requirements
• Anti-money laundering training
