🎲 Martin David Verrall, Ian John Verrall & Neil Kenneth Faulkner

This partnership is a non-remote general betting operator in Great Britain, licensed by the Gambling Commission to take bets in person, typically at racecourses. The operating licence is currently recorded as active. The business is structured as a partnership between three individuals: Martin David Verrall, Ian John Verrall & Neil Kenneth Faulkner, and is not listed as part of a wider corporate group.

Public register data indicates that the partnership trades under the names Evergreen Racing and Martyn Classic Racing. These trading names are associated with on-course bookmaking activities, particularly in relation to horse racing. The available regulatory and industry information describes the operation as focused on general betting (non-remote), rather than online or remote gambling. No separate parent company or corporate owner is recorded; the licence is held in the names of the three partners.

Licensing and Operations

The partnership holds a Gambling Commission operating licence for general betting (standard) in the non-remote sector. This authorises the licensees to accept bets in person, for example as on-course bookmakers at race meetings in Great Britain, but does not authorise remote (online or telephone) gambling.

The partnership’s entry on the Gambling Commission public register confirms:

• An active operating licence in the names of Martin David Verrall, Ian John Verrall & Neil Kenneth Faulkner.
• Trading names including Evergreen Racing and Martyn Classic Racing.
• Licence type covering general betting (non-remote), which permits them to lay and accept bets with customers face to face.

There is no publicly available evidence on the register of additional operating licence types such as remote casino, remote betting, bingo, gaming machine technical supply, or lottery licences being held by this partnership. There is also no indication on the register of any group structure, shareholding arrangements, or corporate parent; the licence is held directly by the named individuals.

Regulatory History

Regulatory information available from the Gambling Commission indicates that the partnership has been subject to formal regulatory action in relation to compliance with licence conditions and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

According to Commission sanctions records, the partnership was investigated for failings in AML controls and other licence conditions. The investigation resulted in enforcement action, including financial penalties and the imposition of additional conditions on the operating licence. The sanctions record refers to a substantial monetary penalty for AML breaches and notes that the partners engaged with the regulatory process.

Some sources state that a regulatory panel hearing led to revocation of an earlier operating licence held by the same individuals in partnership, including Ian John Verrall & Neil Kenneth Faulkner, following serious breaches of AML regulations and repeated non-compliance with licence conditions. That enforcement action related to non-remote betting activities and resulted in the loss of the ability to operate under the affected licence at that time.

Subsequently, the Gambling Commission public register shows an active operating licence under the same partnership name and account number specified above, indicating that the current licence is in force and authorised for general betting (non-remote). The register does not, however, provide detailed narrative on the sequence of historical licence revocations or re-licensing, nor does it list precise dates of any earlier revocation within the entry for the current active licence.

No information is publicly recorded on the register about changes of ownership, as the licence is held directly by the individual partners Martin David Verrall, Ian John Verrall & Neil Kenneth Faulkner.
