Permits & Notifications
If you decide to have Gaming Machines supplied to your premises, you will need to obtain the relevant Permit or Notification from your local licensing authority.
If you currently hold a premises license, you will need “notification for 2 or less” which confirms your automatic entitlement for up to two gaming machines from categories D and C. This is most common for all Public Houses. If you wish to have more than two gaming machines, you will need to contact your local licensing authority for information on additional entitlements.
If you currently hold a Club Premises license, you will need either a “Club Gaming Permit” or a “Club Machine Permit”. These will entitle your premises up to three gaming machines from categories D, C, B4 and B3A. Please note the entitlement for a B3A machine is limited to one per Club and only to Clubs who are NOT commercial Clubs.
AMS are happy to assist you with all applications and renewals to ensure the correct Permit is in place for the equipment supplied. We also requested details of all current Permits for all customers so we can remind you well in advance of any forthcoming expiry dates.
