Overview

Gambling Connection: BRITBET RACING LLP holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in May 2018, giving it the legal authority to run pool betting across its member racecourses. It's the entity through which the British racing industry operates its own tote-style betting product.

BRITBET RACING LLP is a limited liability partnership formed in August 2016 by a coalition of UK racecourses to run a pooled betting operation across British racing venues. Its structure is unusual: the LLP has no individual directors, with all membership held by corporate entities representing racecourses from across England, Scotland, and Wales.

The company has been active for nearly a decade and carries a company score of 80 (Grade A), reflecting its long-standing active status, clear corporate ownership, and clean compliance record. It doesn't operate as a consumer-facing gambling website in the traditional sense but provides the infrastructure for on-course pool betting at its member racecourses.

BRITBET RACING LLP is registered at 4th Floor, Alaska House, Bootle, and its accounts and confirmation statements are filed with Companies House under number OC413330.

Governance

The LLP has 29 officer records, all of which are corporate LLP members rather than individuals. Two designated members hold significant voting rights through PSC registrations, both being major UK racing groups. There are no individual PSCs currently registered. This all-corporate membership structure is atypical for a gambling-licensed entity but reflects the consortium nature of the organisation.
