🎲 Power Leisure Bookmakers Limited

This company is a gambling operator active in the British market, offering betting and other remote gambling services under a UK Gambling Commission operating licence. It forms part of the corporate structure associated with the Paddy Power brand and is ultimately owned by Flutter Entertainment plc. The company was founded in 1999 and remains in operation.

It was incorporated on 10 August 1999, initially as part of the corporate group behind the Paddy Power betting business. Following the 2016 merger of Paddy Power and Betfair, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment plc, a large international gambling group. Over time, it has been used as a principal operating entity for the group’s expansion in Great Britain and other markets, particularly for online and remote betting activities.

Within the wider group structure, it sits beneath the ultimate parent Flutter Entertainment plc. Historically, the immediate parent has been entities connected with Paddy Power plc (later Paddy Power Betfair plc), reflecting the successive restructurings that followed the merger with Betfair and the subsequent rebranding of the group as Flutter Entertainment. The company has been associated with the operation of brands such as Paddy Power in Great Britain, as well as participation in group activities linked to Sportsbet in Australia and Betfair following the merger, although those brands may also be operated through other group entities.

Licensing and Operations

The company holds an operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission, with an active status. This operating licence authorises it to provide regulated gambling services to customers in Great Britain. Based on its role within the Flutter group and public information about the brands it operates, its licensed activities include remote betting and may include other forms of remote gambling such as casino games, poker, or bingo, as permitted by the specific licence conditions issued by the regulator.

The operating licence allows the company to offer gambling services to consumers in Great Britain, subject to compliance with the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) set by the UK Gambling Commission. These conditions cover areas such as anti-money laundering controls, customer identity verification, fair and open terms, and safer gambling requirements. The licence is currently recorded by the regulator as active; there is no public indication that it has been surrendered or lapsed.

The company also forms part of a wider international licensing structure. Public filings and group reporting indicate that related entities within the Flutter group hold remote gambling licences in other jurisdictions, including Italy and certain offshore regulatory regimes. However, those licences are held by other group companies rather than this specific UK-licensed entity.

Regulatory History

As of the latest available public information, there is no widely reported UK Gambling Commission enforcement action specifically and uniquely identified against this company. Any regulatory engagement, routine assessments, or compliance activity that may have taken place has not been prominently singled out in public enforcement notices separate from group-level references.

Where the UK Gambling Commission has taken action against group companies within Flutter Entertainment, these are generally recorded under the names of the specific licensed entities concerned. No specific sanctions, fines, or licence suspensions have been publicly attributed solely to this licence holder in major published enforcement summaries up to the most recent reporting period.
