3) What are the licensing requirements for newly appointed Officers and Directors?
The Gambling Control Act requires an Officer and/or Director who is required to apply for a license do so within 30 calendar days of appointment. The requirement to apply within 30 days does not invalidate the primary requirement that specifies Officers and/or Directors shall apply for and obtain a license pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 19852(a). Although not required, it is encouraged that a temporary license be requested with the submission of the initial application package. Requesting a temporary license will allow for the applicant to meet the "obtain" requirement of Business and Professions Code section 19852(a) while the Bureau of Gambling Control is completing the full background investigation.
4) I am currently licensed and endorsed as an owner on a cardroom's license certificate. What do I need to do to become licensed as an owner in an additional capacity (e.g., the cardroom is a corporation and I am currently endorsed as a director, and I was recently also appointed as a corporate officer)?
Business and Professions Code section 19852 requires licensure of each person identified in the statute, without regard to whether they may have already been licensed by the Commission in another capacity or category. For example, the position of a director and a corporate officer are considered separate persons under the Gambling Control Act, even if they are filled by the same individual. Accordingly, the individual must obtain a license as both a director and a corporate officer.
Any change in ownership or management as reflected on the owner category licensee's license certificate requires a new application and Commission action to change the license certificate. Be sure to check all the boxes that apply to an applicant's relationship to the owner category licensee in Section 1 of the Individual Owner/Principal: Supplemental Information Form. It is also important to note that additional requirements may exist depending on the cardroom's specific business structure, including required timelines for notification and licensure.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2024, legislation became effective that authorizes the Commission to adopt regulations to waive application requirements (such as the requirements to submit supplemental forms and a background investigation deposit), for any applicant who possesses a state gambling license in good standing as determined by the Commission. Regulations must go into effect before the Commission can provide such waivers. The Commission is currently working on proposed regulations. To ensure you receive the latest information on any proposed regulatory action, please sign up for the Commission's rulemaking mailing list here.
5) Who is required to apply for and obtain a state gambling license as an owner of a Limited Liability Company?
Every officer, manager, member, or owner, as well as any person who receives, or is to receive, any percentage share of revenue earned by the owner from gambling activities, pursuant to Business and Professions Code sections 19852(f) and (h). This may include the spouse of the applicant, unless the applicant can justify that the ownership is sole and separate property. If a sole and separate property has not been substantiated, the spouse's application must be submitted for the Limited Liability Company's application to be deemed complete.
6) Who is required to apply for and obtain a state gambling license as an owner of a Trust?
The trustee and, at the discretion of the Commission, any beneficiary and the trustor of the trust, pursuant to Business and Professions Code sections 19852(d), (e) and (h).
7) If I am currently licensed as a Trustee, do I need to apply for and obtain a license if I am appointed or am affiliated with the entity in a different designation/affiliation?
YES, pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 19852.
8) Who is required to apply for and obtain a state gambling license as an owner of a Partnership?
Every general and limited partner of, and every trustee or person, other than a holding or intermediary company, having or acquiring a direct or beneficial interest in, that partnership owner, pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 19852(d) and (h). This may include the spouse of the applicant, unless the applicant can justify that the ownership is sole and separate property. If a sole and separate property has not been substantiated, the spouse's application must be submitted for the Partnership's application to be deemed complete.
9) Should a Spousal Information Form (CGCC-CH2-12) be submitted when renewing my owner category license? What if I am not married?
YES. A completed Spousal Information form is required to be submitted with every owner category license renewal application even if the applicant is not married. However, should the applicant determine that certain fields on the form do not apply, the applicant can write 'N/A' (not applicable) on the form, sign, and submit.
Guidance for documenting a sole and separate property interest can be found HERE.
10) I am on the Board of Directors, does my spouse need to apply for a gaming license?
If the Board of Director position does not have ownership in the gambling enterprise, then the spouse is not required to apply for licensure. However, as a Board of Director is an "Officer" and is required to apply for an Owner Category License, a Spousal Information Form (CGCC-CH2-12) is still required for your application to be deemed completed. If the Board of Director does not have ownership interest, they can submit the Spousal Information Form with the mark "N/A" across the front page to meet the form submission requirement.
11) What is my Associated Owner Category Licensee (first page of CGCC-CH2-04 and CGCC-CH2-10)?
The Associated Owner Category Licensee is the TPPPS/Gambling Establishment an applicant is employed by.
12) Do I need to submit an Appointment of Designated Agent form even if I do not have a Designated Agent?
NO. A form is only required if you wish to appoint a Designated Agent.

For more information regarding the criminal history portion of the Supplemental Information Form, please reference the Commission's educational video titled, "Criminal Convictions Background Overview" found HERE.
4) Supplemental Information Form - Section 9: Business Interest – Non-Gaming Related. Do I have to disclose a business where I have less than 1% interest?

Live Scan and Fingerprints
1) Where can I find a Live Scan location?
You may find a live scan location in your area HERE. Please keep in mind that fees vary from location to location.
2) Are fingerprints required at renewal time?
YES. All applicants who are residents of the State of California are required to submit a Live Scan along with your renewal application. If an applicant is a not a resident of the State of California, then two applicant fingerprint cards are required. Live Scan is a system for the electronic submission of fingerprints and the subsequent automated background checks and responses. The forms for a Live Scan are on the Commission's "Forms" page HERE. Live Scans are performed at the Department of Justice's approved locations found HERE. Fingerprint cards have a similar purpose but utilize forms provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and require the assistance of the Bureau of Gambling Control.
3) Does my spouse need to get live scanned/fingerprinted? If so, why?
YES. Each applicant for an owner category license and their spouse must submit a completed Request for Live Scan Service.
Business and Professions Code section 19857, subdivision (b) requires that prior to issuance of a license, the Commission must be satisfied that an applicant does not have any associations that pose a threat to the public interest or the effective regulation of controlled gambling, or that enhance the dangers of unsuitable, unfair, or illegal practices and activities in the conduct of controlled gambling or the business and financial arrangements incidental thereto.
The Commission may consider a spouse's criminal history in determining whether an applicant for an owner category license has any associations that negatively impact their suitability for licensure.

3) How do I request additional tables for my Cardroom?
AB 341, which became effective on January 1, 2024, authorizes local jurisdictions to amend an ordinance that applies only to cardrooms that operate fewer than 20 tables. These cardrooms may increase their maximum number of tables by up to 10 additional tables above the number of tables operated by the cardroom on January 1, 2023, but only up to two additional tables in the first year after the ordinance takes effect, and up to two additional tables every four years thereafter.
Before submitting a request for additional tables, consult your local jurisdiction's gambling ordinance to ensure that the request for additional tables does not violate the limits set by the ordinance. The Commission is unable to grant approvals to applicants who are not in compliance with state, federal, and local laws. Please note that pursuant to AB 341, any amendment to or adoption of a local ordinance on or after January 1, 2023 resulting in an expansion of gambling that was not authorized as of December 31, 2022 or otherwise authorized, as specified, was invalidated and preempted effective January 1, 2024.
If the request for additional tables complies with all local, state and federal laws, submit a completed Cardroom Business License: Gaming Tables (CGCC-CH7-07, Rev 02/21) form to the Bureau of Gambling Control (Bureau). All forms can be found on the Commission's website HERE.
