🎲 BG Bet Limited

This entity is a family-owned betting operator in Great Britain, active under a UK Gambling Commission operating licence. It offers general betting services, including non-remote (high-street) and remote facilities. The business traces its origins to a long-running independent bookmaking operation founded in the late 1960s.

The company’s roots go back to 1968, when founder Brian Goodyear began trading as Brian Goodyear Bookmakers. He operated the bookmaking business from 1969 until his retirement in 2005, after which family members continued the enterprise under the BGbet name. The corporate vehicle was incorporated on 17 April 1996 as BRIAN GOODYEAR LIMITED and was later renamed BGBET LIMITED on 30 May 2006. It remains privately held; no parent corporate group or subsidiary structure is publicly disclosed in the sources consulted.

Licensing and Operations

This operator holds an active Great Britain operating licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission.

In addition, the company holds a General Betting Standard – Remote (Ancillary) operating licence, which permits it to provide remote betting facilities ancillary to its non-remote business. This remote authorisation has been active since 1 October 2018. An ancillary remote betting licence typically covers remote facilities linked to a land-based betting operation, rather than a stand-alone remote-only business.

Its activities, as defined by the licence categories, are focused on betting rather than casino, bingo, gaming machine supply, or software provision.
