🎲 Aspinall's Club Limited

This company is a land-based casino operator in Great Britain, holding an active operating licence from the Gambling Commission. It is associated with a long-running private members’ gaming club in London originally founded by gambling entrepreneur John Victor Aspinall. The business has historically focused on high-end casino gaming rather than mass-market betting or remote gambling.

The corporate entity was incorporated in the United Kingdom in 1990 under the name Aspinall’s Club Limited. The modern club opened in 1992 when John Aspinall converted a former entertainment venue into a licensed casino. Over time the club became the principal vehicle for Aspinall’s licensed casino operations in London.

The company has undergone ownership changes since its founder’s death in 2000. In the 2010s it formed part of an international casino portfolio that included interests held by Australian-listed Crown Resorts, which disclosed a 100% shareholding in Aspinall’s Club Limited in its group structure. In the early 2020s the London club associated with this licence was acquired by Wynn Resorts, which rebranded the venue as Wynn Mayfair following regulatory approvals, integrating the operation into Wynn’s international casino group.

Licensing and Operations

The company holds a Gambling Commission operating licence authorising it to provide casino facilities to customers in Great Britain. This is a non-remote operating licence, permitting the operation of a physical casino premises offering games of chance such as table games and other casino-style gambling products, subject to the conditions of its licence and the Gambling Act 2005.

Its licensing profile identifies it as a business-to-consumer operator rather than a business-to-business supplier. The authorisations cover the provision and management of casino gaming on licensed premises, including the conduct of games, management of gaming staff, and handling of customer funds on-site. There is no indication from public licensing data that the company holds remote (online) gambling licences for casino, betting, or bingo, nor licences for other sectors such as lotteries or gaming machines supplied to third parties.

The Gambling Commission public register records the company’s operating licence as active. The licence allows it to continue offering regulated casino gambling in Great Britain, subject to ongoing compliance with social responsibility, anti-money laundering, and technical standards set by the regulator. Any premises used for gambling under this licence must also be approved by the Commission and by the relevant local authority through a premises licence.

Regulatory History

Publicly available regulatory information does not show major enforcement actions, financial penalties, or licence suspensions issued by the Gambling Commission specifically against this licensee. The company has remained on the Commission’s public register with an active operating licence.

Historically, gambling clubs associated with founder John Aspinall were involved in legal and regulatory scrutiny during the 1950s and 1960s, before the introduction of modern casino regulation; however, these proceedings pre-date the current licensing regime and the establishment of the present operating company. Under the current framework of the Gambling Act 2005, there is no widely reported record of significant disciplinary measures taken by the regulator against this licence holder.
