The man was given the warning following an operation which centred on a licensed premises in Hayes, Greater London, and involved officers from the Gambling Commission and the Metropolitan Police.
The Commission has consistently warned bookmakers, publicans and club officials that commercial betting is not allowed in pubs, clubs or similar licensed premises. In this case the Commission found evidence that facilities for betting were being provided on such premises. The man, from Uxbridge, Middlesex, was cautioned under Section 37 of the Gambling Act 2005."
