Track betting licences

Before a person or company can offer betting facilities on a sporting event, they must first obtain a licence.

The licence permits the premises to be used for the provision of facilities for betting, but does not permit the licence holder to provide casino, bingo or other types of gambling on tracks, as these activities are the subject of separate premises licences.

Licences may be:

• a premises licence. Visit the premises licenses section to download the application forms
• an Occasional use notice (PDF, 70KB)  for the use tracks for short periods of betting at events which are temporary or infrequent.  Please also refer to the Occasional use notice guidance notes (PDF, 33KB )

These notices can only be used for eight days or less in a calendar year.
