Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001

If a race bookmaking licence is cancelled or surrendered, the commission must cancel any approval issued under section 49 (Issue or refusal of approval for sports bookmaking venue) to the race bookmaker.

If a race bookmaking licence is suspended, the commission must suspend, until the end of the suspension of the race bookmaking licence, any approval issued under that section to the race bookmaker.

Despite subsection (2), the commission may cancel the approval instead of suspending it if—

the number of approvals already in force under section 49 for a designated sports bookmaking venue equals the number of places stated under section 47 (2) (Designation of sports bookmaking venues etc) in relation to the venue; and

there is at least 1 other person who is eligible under section 49 (2) (c) to be issued an approval under section 49 in relation to the venue; and

the commission considers, having regard to the circumstances leading to, and the period of, the suspension, it would be unreasonable not to cancel the approval and issue an approval in relation to the venue to someone else.
