CONCEPT APPS LTD is a Belfast-registered private limited company incorporated in February 2015. It's connected to the UK gambling industry through a now-surrendered UKGC operating licence, held for roughly three and a half years before being relinquished. The company scores an A grade on governance indicators, reflecting its decade-long active status and clean compliance record.

Concerns

  • No UK-resident directors — both current directors are based in Ireland
  • No persons with significant control declared — ownership transparency is limited

Overview

Gambling Connection: CONCEPT APPS LTD is in our database because it held a UKGC gambling operating licence through its linked operator entity. That licence has since been surrendered, so the company is no longer authorised to provide gambling services in Great Britain.

CONCEPT APPS LTD has been registered at Catalyst Innovation Centre in Belfast since its incorporation in February 2015. The company operates under a management consultancy SIC classification rather than a gambling code, though its UKGC licence history places it firmly within the regulated gambling sector. With over eleven years on the register and an active status throughout, it's a well-established corporate presence.

The company's score of 89 out of 100 (Grade A) reflects a consistent record: no outstanding charges, up-to-date filings, and a long incorporation history. Its ownership structure carries a formal statement declaring no individual or entity with significant control, filed in 2017, which accounts for the ownership scoring method used in its assessment.

CONCEPT APPS LTD held a UKGC operating licence that was subsequently surrendered, meaning it's no longer authorised to offer gambling services in Great Britain. The surrender doesn't indicate regulatory sanction, but consumers should be aware the associated operator is no longer licensed.

Governance

The board currently has two directors, both resident in Ireland. Four directors have resigned since incorporation, with two departures recorded in January 2021. There are no persons with significant control on record. A PSC exemption statement was filed in February 2017, declaring that no individual or entity meets the threshold for significant control.
