🎲 Connaught Leisure Limited

This is a land-based gambling operator in Great Britain, licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission to provide non-remote gambling services. It holds an active operating licence and is authorised to offer gambling facilities in physical premises rather than online. The company was incorporated on 8 October 1980 as a private limited company in England and Wales.

Public filings indicate that the company’s stated nature of business is gambling and betting activities under Standard Industrial Classification code 92000. Available records do not show it as part of a wider corporate gambling group, and it is recorded as an independently held entity rather than a subsidiary of a major listed gambling operator. There is no public evidence of significant merger or acquisition activity involving the company.

The operator has been associated in industry and charity documentation with a bingo offering under the name “Connaught Bingo Club”. It has also been linked with the operation of an adult gaming centre in Hove, reflecting a focus on land-based, venue-based gambling rather than remote (online) services. The business has appeared in responsible gambling funding lists, including as a contributor under the bingo club name in a GambleAware annual report for 2015–16.

Licensing and Operations

The company holds a Gambling Commission operating licence for non-remote activities. According to the Gambling Commission public register, this licence is active and authorises the provision of facilities for gambling in Great Britain. Its authorisation covers land-based operations, including the running of an adult gaming centre, and does not extend to remote (online) gambling.

The non-remote operating licence permits the operator to make gaming machines and associated gambling facilities available to customers on licensed premises, subject to local authority premises licences and compliance with the Gambling Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice. The licensing data on the Commission’s register confirms that the business is currently authorised to trade under this operating licence and that it appears on the full register of gambling businesses.

The premises section of the Gambling Commission register lists at least one licensed site associated with the operator, reflecting its role as a venue-based gambling provider. There is no indication on the register that the company holds remote casino, remote betting, or remote bingo operating licences.

Regulatory History

A search of publicly available Gambling Commission regulatory publications and the business’s entry on the public register does not show any recorded financial penalties, licence suspensions, or formal regulatory sanctions against this operator. The register lists the licence as active, with no accompanying notes of enforcement action.

There is no public record on the Commission’s website of the operating licence having been suspended, revoked, or surrendered, and no published regulatory settlements or case reports specifically naming the company have been identified in major UK gambling regulatory news sources.
