The bill for the new Gambling Act 2025 ("the New Act") was published in June and amends the existing Gambling Act 2005 ("Old Act").

The Gibraltar Parliament is expected to approve the New Act this September, with the New Act to take effect on the 1st October 2025 ("the Effective Date").

Schedule 8 of the New Act contains transitional provisions for the existing and new framework, as summarised below:

1. EXISTING LICENCE HOLDERS

A licence holder of a regulated activity under the Old Act is automatically treated as licenced under the New Act until a new licence is issued.

There is no need for current licensed operators to reapply for a licence under the New Act.

2. PENDING APPLICATIONS
