Overview
Gambling Connection: CELTIC DEVELOPMENT POOLS LIMITED holds an active UKGC gambling operator licence, first granted on 18 December 2020. It's directly licensed to conduct gambling activities in the UK under its own name.
CELTIC DEVELOPMENT POOLS LIMITED is a private limited company registered in Glasgow, Scotland, classified under SIC code 92000 for gambling and betting activities. It's been incorporated since 1 May 1968, giving it a corporate history spanning nearly 58 years. That longevity alone sets it apart from the vast majority of UK gambling entities.
The company holds an A+ company score of 90 out of 100, reflecting strong governance across multiple dimensions. Its active status, UK-based board, and clean financial record all contribute to the high rating. There are no outstanding charges recorded at Companies House.
On the ownership side, the company filed a PSC exemption statement in 2016 declaring no individual or entity with significant control. That's consistent with a structure where ownership is distributed among members rather than concentrated in a single controlling party, which is common for pools and community-linked organisations of this type.
Governance
The company has four current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. One company secretary is also active. The board includes directors with long-standing appointments, the longest dating back to June 1990. No PSC individuals or corporate entities are registered; instead, an active exemption statement has been in place since July 2016 under the 'no-individual-or-entity-with-significant-control' declaration.
