🎲 Gavin Reader Limited

This company is a British gambling operator active in the land‑based amusement and adult gaming centre sector. It holds an operating licence from the Gambling Commission in Great Britain and trades under the name Readers Amusements. The business was incorporated in 1989 and has operated primarily in the North East of England.

The company was established as a family-run enterprise and has remained privately owned. Public corporate filings list Gavin Reader as a director. There is no public indication that it forms part of a larger gambling group or that it has been acquired by another licensed operator. Its activities are focused on physical premises rather than online gambling.

The business operates amusement arcades and adult gaming centres, offering gaming machines and related amusements in retail locations. Available public information indicates that it does not operate remote (online) casino, betting or bingo services. Over time, it has expanded its network of premises within its regional base through the opening and acquisition of additional arcades and adult gaming centres.

Licensing and Operations

The company holds a Gambling Commission operating licence in Great Britain. This authorises it to provide regulated gambling facilities in accordance with the licence conditions and codes of practice set by the regulator. Its permissions cover non-remote operations, including the provision of gaming machines and associated gambling products in adult gaming centres and amusement arcades.

The operating licence permits the company to offer gaming machines falling within the categories allowed for its type of premises, subject to stake and prize limits and other statutory requirements. As a non-remote operator, its licensed activities are limited to land‑based venues and do not extend to online gambling platforms.

The licence is currently recorded by the Gambling Commission as active. There is no public record that the operating licence has been surrendered, lapsed, or revoked. Any changes to trading names, licence conditions or authorised activities are recorded on the Gambling Commission’s public register, which reflects the current regulatory permissions in force.

Publicly available information does not show any major enforcement actions such as financial penalties, licence suspensions or regulatory settlements against this operator.

No publicly reported licence reviews or sanctions specific to this company have been noted in recent years beyond standard regulatory supervision. Any future regulatory decisions, including variations to licence conditions or formal sanctions, would be published by the Gambling Commission on its public register and associated regulatory action logs.
