The Gambling Commission proposes to introduce an additional operating licence condition, which will restrict the betting activities that can take place under Occasional Use Notices (OUNs), to betting on the sporting event that is taking place at the track to which the OUN applies.

We have become aware of OUNs being used in ways that were not envisaged, including to provide betting in public houses. Several high-profile sporting events are due to occur over the coming months, and these may increase such usage. It is therefore important that this matter be resolved rapidly. We have arranged for a stakeholder workshop to be held during the consultation period, on 12 July 2010.

It is proposed that a supplement to the  Licence conditions and codes of practice - October 2008 (LCCP) setting out the final form of the new licence condition will also be subsequently published.  

OUNs consultation - June 2010
