Following a Compliance assessment of the operating licence held by A F Lane, trading as Alt Leisure (“the Licensee”), a regulatory review under Section 116 of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”) was commenced. The review found that the Licensee failed to comply with the following Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (“LCCP”):
- Social responsibility code provision (“SRCP”) 3.2.3 Paragraphs 1,2,6 and 8 - Protection of children and other vulnerable persons
- SRCP 3.4.1. Paragraphs 1 (a), (b) and (c) and 2 - Premises-based customer interaction
- SRCP 3.5.1. Paragraphs 6 (b) and (c) Self-exclusion
- SRCP 3.5.6 Multi-operator non-remote SR code
- SRCP 10.1.1. Paragraph 1- Assessing local risk.
Failure to comply with a SRCP is a breach of a licence condition by virtue of section 82(1) of the Act.
In line with the Commission’s Licensing, compliance and enforcement policy statement, the Indicative sanctions guidance and the Statement of principles for determining financial penalties, the Commission has decided to:
- Issue the Licensee with a warning under section 117(1)(a) of the Act
- Impose a financial penalty of £3,040 under section 121 of the Act.
The Licensee co-operated with the Commission throughout the investigation and took corrective steps to address the identified failings.
