Overview

Gambling Connection: C.H.S. (AMUSEMENTS) LIMITED is in our database because it holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in September 2015, giving it over a decade of regulated gambling activity.

C.H.S. (AMUSEMENTS) LIMITED has been registered at Companies House since 17 January 1978, giving it over 48 years of corporate history. That longevity is a key contributor to its company score of 86 (grade A), which reflects an active status, UK-based leadership, and a clear ownership structure.

The company's SIC classification (93290, other amusement and recreation activities) places it in the broader leisure sector, but its connection to regulated gambling is confirmed by its UKGC-licensed status. It's run as a small, tightly held business rather than part of a large corporate group.

Ownership changed hands in late 2022, when a corporate entity took on majority control. The company has maintained active filing status and shows no outstanding charges on record.

Governance

The company currently has one active director, who is UK-resident. Majority ownership (75-100%) sits with a corporate PSC registered in the UK, which took control in November 2022. Prior to that, individual shareholders held direct stakes. The board is small, consistent with a privately held amusements business.
