🎲 S & D Bookmakers Limited

This is a privately owned British gambling company that operates licensed betting premises and remote betting services. It is authorised by the Gambling Commission as an active operator and primarily offers betting services rather than casino, bingo or gaming machine supply as a core business. The company was incorporated on 8 August 1966.

The business was originally registered under the name S. & D. Commission Agents Limited. It later adopted its current name in 1988, reflecting its role as a bookmaker. Public corporate records classify it under gambling and betting activities. Available information indicates that it is independently owned and is not part of a larger gambling group or listed corporate structure.

Directorship records show that Robert John Speechley has served as a director. The company has operated for several decades as a regional bookmaker, with a focus on high-street betting shops and, more recently, the addition of remote betting channels. It trades under its corporate name rather than through multiple distinct consumer-facing brands.

Licensing and Operations

According to the Gambling Commission public register, the company holds an operating licence issued by the Gambling Commission. The status of this operating licence is recorded as active.

The operator is authorised for non-remote betting activities, permitting it to operate licensed betting premises in Great Britain. These premises offer betting services on sporting and other events in line with the scope of a general betting standard operating licence for non-remote betting.

In addition, the company holds remote betting permissions granted by the Gambling Commission. These remote permissions, which have been in place since 2022, allow it to offer betting services via remote means, such as online or mobile platforms, to customers in Great Britain, subject to the conditions of its licence. The combination of non-remote and remote permissions enables it to provide both land-based and online betting services.

The operating licence is subject to the standard conditions and codes of practice that apply to licensed bookmakers in Great Britain. The company’s entry on the Gambling Commission register also lists multiple licensed premises associated with its non-remote betting operations.

Regulatory History

A search of the Gambling Commission’s public register does not show any published regulatory sanctions, financial penalties or licence suspensions associated with this operator. Its operating licence remains active, and there is no public record on the register of the licence having been surrendered or revoked.

If any licence variations, additional conditions or regulatory settlements have occurred but are not published on the public register, they are not reflected in publicly accessible sources and therefore cannot be documented here.
