A Temporary Use Notice (TUN)

A Temporary Use Notice (TUN) is a legal document that permits an individual or an organisation to conduct gaming activities for a limited duration at a specific location. It's important to note that a TUN can only be issued if the premises user already holds a relevant operating licence from the Gambling Commission.
