Land-based casino operating licences involve annual fees rather than a GGR tax. The Online Casino Gambling Act 2025 is expected to introduce operator fees/levies and (per DIA decision) will NOT require online casino licensees to make community returns; precise application and annual fee bands have not yet been published. The licence will be allocated by competitive auction, so the effective entry price is set by bidding rather than a fixed schedule.
