The Stamp Duties on Cards and Dice Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 18) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated enactments related to the stamp duties on playing cards and dice in the United Kingdom.
Provisions Section 2 of the act granted duties of five shillings on every annual licence to make playing cards or dice, one shilling on every pack of playing cards made fit for sale or use in the United Kingdom, and twenty shillings on every pair of dice so made. The duties were placed under the care and management of the Commissioners of Stamps.
Repealed enactments Section 1 of the act repealed 10 enactments, listed in that section. The repeal did not affect the operation of any of the repealed acts in so far as they repealed any other act, or affect duties or arrears of duty payable, or penalties incurred, under the repealed acts before the commencement of the act, which remained recoverable as if the act had not been made, or the bonds given under them, which continued in force until their conditions were performed.
