Data is derived from the last regulatory return submitted before the relevant reporting period.
Operators who offer bingo as exempt gaming in clubs (including members’ clubs, commercial clubs and miners’ welfare institutes) and have hit the threshold for high turnover bingo (as defined by Section 275) do not need to record the number of premises in their regulatory returns. These operators are required to hold an operating licence, but not a premises licence. We continue to review and rectify any returns where the operator has included the premises in error.
From 31 March 2013 onwards, premises data is drawn from regulatory returns. Prior to this, the data was derived from local authority notifications.
Casino premises data up to 31 March 2015 was drawn from Casino Drop & Win data returns. After 31 March 2015, casino premises data is drawn from the 'Active' casinos listed by operators within their regulatory returns.
Trading Room Only premises are not included.
