Licensing and Operations
The company holds an operating licence issued by the Gambling Commission. This authorises it to provide betting services to customers in Great Britain, subject to the conditions attached to the licence and to the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). The licence is listed as active on the Gambling Commission’s public register.
Historically, the business has operated as an off‑course bookmaker, taking bets on sporting and related events. The operating licence permits it to offer facilities for betting, which may include non‑remote (land‑based) betting and, where authorised, remote betting services. The specific licensed activities and any remote permissions are set out in the detailed licence conditions maintained by the regulator.
There is no public record on the Gambling Commission register of the company holding separate operating licences for other sectors such as bingo, casino, or gaming machines beyond what is covered within its betting permissions. Any changes to the scope of its licence, including additions or removals of licence activities, are recorded by the Commission but are not fully detailed in summary search results.
Regulatory History
The Gambling Commission has taken regulatory action against the company in relation to compliance with licence conditions and social responsibility requirements. According to Commission enforcement records referenced in regulatory and research material, the operator was required to pay a financial penalty of £686,070. This sanction arose from a regulatory case concluded by the Gambling Commission, which found failings against the standards set out in the LCCP.
The enforcement outcome included the imposition of the financial penalty and associated remedial requirements determined by the Commission. Following this action, the operator’s licence remained active, and the company continued to trade under Gambling Commission oversight.
No other specific fines, licence suspensions, or revocations have been identified in publicly accessible summaries beyond this enforcement case. Any further regulatory interactions, such as routine compliance assessments or minor regulatory settlements not published in detail, are not reflected in the available material.
