🎲 British Eye Research Foundation

This entity is recorded on the Gambling Commission’s public register as the holder of a non-remote operating licence, with an active status. It is therefore authorised to provide certain forms of land-based gambling under the Gambling Act 2005. Publicly available information otherwise identifies it as a charitable body associated with eye research; no verifiable sources describe it as part of a commercial gambling group.

The organisation’s charitable history traces back to earlier bodies involved in funding ophthalmic research in the United Kingdom. In 2005, it became associated with the charity Fight for Sight through a merger process that consolidated eye research funding activities under the Fight for Sight name. Companies House records indicate that the British Eye Research Foundation corporate entity has existed in parallel with that charitable activity, but there is no publicly documented change of ownership into a gambling group or consolidation into a wider gambling operator.

Available public records do not describe any gambling brands, trading styles, or consumer-facing gambling products linked to this licence holder beyond what is listed on the Gambling Commission’s register. No information is publicly available about dedicated gambling executives, a parent gambling company, or group structure connected with this licence.

Licensing and Operations

The Gambling Commission register shows that this entity holds a Gambling Commission operating licence. The licence is categorised as non-remote, meaning it covers gambling activities that take place in physical premises rather than online.

A non-remote operating licence can authorise activities such as betting, bingo, gaming machines, or other land-based gambling, depending on the specific licence activities granted. The detailed activity breakdown for this account number is not fully described in secondary public sources beyond the fact that it is an operating licence rather than a personal or ancillary licence.

The licence is recorded as active, indicating that it has not been surrendered, lapsed, or revoked. The public register entry confirms that the licence remains in force and that the holder is authorised, in principle, to conduct the licensed non-remote gambling activities, subject to compliance with Gambling Commission regulations and any specific licence conditions.

No public sources indicate historical changes between remote and non-remote status for this operator, nor any transfers of this licence to another corporate entity. There is also no publicly documented change in licence type, such as expansion into additional gambling sectors, beyond the non-remote operating authorisation recorded.
