Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001

This section applies if—

a race bookmaker has an agent; and

the agent holds a race bookmaker’s agent licence.

The race bookmaker may apply to the commission to renew the agent’s race bookmaker’s agent licence for a period not longer than 3 years.

The application must—

be in writing; and

include consent to a police officer checking the race bookmaker’s agent’s criminal record and reporting the results of the check to the commission; and

be received by the commission at least 30 days before the day the licence expires.

However, the commission may extend the time for making an application.

Note A race bookmaker may apply to the commission for the time to be extended, and the commission may extend the time, even though the time has ended (see Legislation Act, s 151C).

If a race bookmaker applies to renew the licence under this section, the licence remains in force until the application is decided.
