sec.126Provisional licences

### sec.126 Provisional licences The commissioner may grant to an applicant for a supplier’s licence a provisional licence for the kind of licence applied for. However, the commissioner may grant a provisional licence only if the commissioner considers— a decision about the applicant’s application for a supplier’s licence may not be made for some time; and the conduct of gaming may be prejudiced or disadvantaged if the applicant is not granted the provisional licence; and the issue of the provisional licence to the applicant will not prejudice or disadvantage gaming or the conduct of gaming. The commissioner may grant a provisional licence— on conditions the commissioner considers necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of gaming; and on other conditions the commissioner considers necessary or desirable in the public interest. If the commissioner grants a provisional licence to a person, the commissioner must immediately issue the licence to the person. A provisional licence must be in the approved form. A provisional licence issued to an applicant for a supplier’s licence remains in force until— a supplier’s licence of the kind applied for is issued to the applicant; or the commissioner decides to refuse to grant the application; or the licence is surrendered or cancelled. While a provisional licence for a particular kind of supplier’s licence is in force, it has the same effect, and this Act applies to the holder of the licence, as if the licence were a supplier’s licence of that kind. s 126 ins 1999 No. 77 s 44 amd 2012 No. 25 ss 109 (1) , 110 (sec.126-ssec.1) The commissioner may grant to an applicant for a supplier’s licence a provisional licence for the kind of licence applied for.
