Service supplier representative

Who can apply for a service supplier representative license

You must apply for a gambling service supplier representative license if you are employed by a licensed gambling service supplier to provide gambling-related services, or you supervise those who do.

• If you are a licensed gambling service supplier representative, you must represent only 1 licensed gambling service supplier at a time
• If the owner you represent owns more than 1 licensed business, you may represent the owner in all those licensed businesses
• You must submit an application and pay a fee before beginning work at a new or additional employer.

If you are a substantial interest holder (app.leg.wa.gov) in a gambling service supplier, you do not need an individual license to perform representative duties connected with that licensed business.
