Overview

Gambling Connection: CARLTON CLUBS LIMITED holds SIC code 92000 (gambling and betting activities) and is linked to a UKGC-licensed operator that has held its licence since November 2010. It's a direct gambling business, not a holding company or B2B supplier.

CARLTON CLUBS LIMITED was incorporated on 20 March 1990 and has maintained active status for over 35 years. Registered in Inverness, Scotland, the company operates under SIC codes covering gambling and betting activities alongside broader amusement and recreation, reflecting its position as a direct participant in UK gambling rather than a holding or support entity.

The company's A+ score of 97 out of 100 places it among the strongest-performing entities on this site. That score is driven by its exceptional longevity, clean compliance record, and a board made up predominantly of UK-resident directors. Accounts and confirmation statements are both current, with no outstanding charges on record.

Corporate ownership has been held by a single parent entity since 2016, providing a clear and transparent ownership chain. That structure, combined with the company's unbroken track record since 1990, gives CARLTON CLUBS LIMITED a level of corporate stability that's uncommon in this sector.

Governance

The board currently has five directors, all UK-resident except one based in the Isle of Man. Two long-serving directors have been in post since 1991, with a further three appointed in March 2022. The company is wholly owned by a corporate PSC with between 75% and 100% control, with no individual PSCs registered. The secretary role has been filled continuously since incorporation.
