🎲 Off Course Bookmakers Limited

This is a gambling operator licensed by the British regulator to provide betting and other gambling services to customers in Great Britain. It is currently active and holds operating licences for both non-remote (land-based) and remote (online) activities. The company was incorporated in 1986 and has operated under its present name since the same year.

The company was first registered on 10 February 1986 under the name ERATIN LIMITED. On 6 May 1986 it changed its name to its current designation. Companies House records classify its principal business under Standard Industrial Classification code 92000, covering gambling and betting activities. Publicly available summaries do not indicate membership of a wider corporate group or the existence of a parent undertaking, and no further corporate name changes have been recorded beyond the initial change in 1986.

Licensing and Operations

According to the public register of the Gambling Commission, the company holds an operating licence authorising both non-remote and remote gambling activities. Its non-remote permissions cover general betting on real and virtual events, allowing it to accept bets in licensed premises such as betting shops. The non-remote operating licence has been recorded as active since 1 January 2009 under the current regulatory framework.

In addition to land-based permissions, the company also holds remote operating licences. These remote licences authorise it to offer gambling services to customers in Great Britain via remote communication, such as internet-based platforms. The remote permissions on the public register include general betting (real and virtual events), bingo and casino. Different parts of the remote authorisations have commencement dates in 2022 and 2024, indicating a staged expansion of its licensed remote activities.

The combination of non-remote and remote operating licences enables the company to provide a range of gambling products, including betting, bingo and casino-style games, through both physical premises and online channels, subject to the detailed conditions and technical standards set by the regulator.
