PROSECUTIONS. The Act gives licensing authorities (in England and Wales), the police and the Commission the power to prosecute (among other offences) the offence of using premises for gambling without the requisite permissions. While in exceptional circumstances, such as repeated deliberate breaches of premises licence conditions, licensed operators or permit holders may be prosecuted without any prior regulatory action (warnings, suspension or revocation of licence or removal of permit, etc), most prosecutions will be against those illegally providing gambling without a licence or permit.
