From 1 July, operators must submit their regulatory returns every quarter, with the new reporting period ending in September, warns licensing law firm Poppleston Allen

The Gambling Commission has made good on its March promise to introduce a new condition on licence holders, which began on Monday.

Under the new condition, all licensees must submit regulatory returns on a quarterly basis, and within 28 days of the end of each quarter.

Any previous returns that included the 30th June 2024, will now fall due on either the 28th July or the 11th August 2024 – depending upon the operating licence – and the new reporting period starts today and will run until 30 September 2024.

Going forward, all operating licences will be harmonised, and the regulatory returns will be due within 28 days of the end of the quarterly period with the July to September 2024 return being due on the 28th October 2024.

Felix Faulkner, solicitor for Poppleston Allen, said: “We advised all licence holders back in March to be aware of this new change, coming into effect this summer. It behoves all licensees to make sure the appropriate teams are abreast of their obligations and that all the ducks are in a row ahead of the 28 July due date.”

Operators must make sure they are aware of this change, as although regulatory returns are largely an administrative function of holding an operating licence, the failure to file them with the Commission could result in enforcement penalties.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
