Following on from my last post on PFL (Personal Functioning Licence) here is what I hope is some useful information on PML (Personal Management Licence).

Within the UK casino industry (Bricks and Mortar) anyone who is responsible for any of these areas will need to apply for and hold a PML:

• Overall strategy and delivery of gambling operations.
• Financial planning, control and budgeting.
• Marketing and commercial development.
• Regulatory compliance.
• Gambling related IT provision and security.
• Management of the licensed activity for a particular area in Great Britain where you have five or more sets of premises for which you hold a premises licence.
• Management of a single set of casino licensed premises.

In effect anyone who is in a position of responsibility within UK Casinos will need one.

As this is a personal licence you will need to apply directly yourself to the Gambling Commission.

Apply for a personal management licence.

Whilst this is what you need to legally work within a UK casino in a managerial function, please note if you are not a European Citizen this does not legally entitle you to work in the UK, you will still need a visa.
