🎲 Pets at Home Foundation

This entity is a charitable organisation connected with the Pets at Home retail group in the United Kingdom. It is not a consumer‑facing gambling operator in the conventional sense (such as casino, betting, or bingo). Its primary activities relate to charitable fundraising for animal welfare causes, and it holds a gambling operating licence in that context. The organisation’s UK Gambling Commission status is listed as active.

The charity is associated with Pets at Home Group PLC, a British pet care retailer founded in 1991. The charitable arm has operated under the name used in the Gambling Commission register and has been involved in fundraising and grant‑making for animal welfare projects in the UK. Public information from the charity and the retail group describes its role in raising funds and supporting rehoming and welfare initiatives for pets.

Licensing and Operations

The organisation holds an operating licence issued by the UK Gambling Commission. This is a non‑remote operating licence connected to regulated gambling activities undertaken for charitable purposes. In the UK, charities and similar bodies commonly obtain such licences in order to lawfully promote and operate large society lotteries or other regulated fundraising schemes that fall within the scope of the Gambling Act 2005.

The active status of the operating licence indicates that the organisation is authorised to conduct the licensed gambling activities subject to the conditions attached to that licence and to general regulatory requirements. The Gambling Commission’s public register entry for this entity confirms that it does not have any licensed gambling premises listed under its account, which is consistent with charity‑run lotteries and comparable fundraising arrangements that do not involve public gambling venues.

No information is published on the register entry indicating that this licence has been suspended, revoked, or surrendered. There is no indication in the register of remote gambling permissions such as remote casino, remote betting, or remote bingo. The licence instead supports the conduct of regulated lotteries or similar arrangements where proceeds are applied to the organisation’s charitable purposes.

Regulatory History

As of the latest information available from the UK Gambling Commission public register, there are no recorded regulatory sanctions, financial penalties, or formal warnings against this licence holder. The register does not list any licence suspensions or revocations in relation to this account.

Any regulatory interactions not resulting in formal published action are not publicly documented on the register. The available data therefore shows an active operating licence with no recorded enforcement outcomes or changes in status beyond routine administrative updates.
