Overview

Gambling Connection: COLOSSUSBETS LIMITED holds a UKGC operator licence and is directly involved in online betting and gaming. It's the licensed entity behind the ColossusBets brand, which has been regulated in the UK since September 2012.

COLOSSUSBETS LIMITED was incorporated on 8 March 2012 and remains an active private limited company. Its SIC codes span both gambling activities and software and IT services, reflecting that the business combines direct-to-consumer betting operations with a technology dimension. That's relatively uncommon and suggests the company builds or maintains its own platform rather than relying purely on third-party software.

With nearly 14 years of continuous active status and a company score of 85 (Grade A), COLOSSUSBETS LIMITED sits among the more well-established entities in the UK gambling sector. The score reflects a long incorporation history, a clear ownership structure with two individuals registered as persons with significant control, and no outstanding charges on record. Its registered office is care of Mercer & Hole in the City of London, a professional services address commonly used by companies that don't maintain a physical UK office.

One point worth noting is that the sole current director is based in the Isle of Man, not the UK. That isn't unusual for gambling companies, but it does mean day-to-day oversight sits outside Great Britain. The company's overall governance profile is otherwise straightforward for an operator of its age and size.

Governance

The company currently has one active director, an Australian national resident in the Isle of Man. Two individuals are registered as persons with significant control, both notified in April 2016. The board has seen several changes over the years, with four directors having resigned since 2012, leaving a lean one-director structure today.
