A Temporary Use Notice (TUN) will allow the use of premises for gambling where there's no Premises Licence but where a gambling operator wishes to use the premises temporarily for providing facilities for gambling. Premises that might be suitable for a TUN would include hotels, conference centres, and sporting venues.
A TUN may only be granted to a person or company holding a relevant Operating Licence issued by the Gambling Commission (for example, the holder of a Betting Operating Licence could apply to provide betting facilities at a snooker tournament).
The same set of premises may not be the subject of a TUN for more than 21 days in any 12-month period, but may be the subject of several Notices provided that the total does not exceed 21 days.
The fee for a Temporary Use Notice is £350 and the application must be lodged with the licensing authority not less than three months and one day before the day on which the gambling event will begin.
