Overview

Gambling Connection: DATAPOOL LIMITED is in our database because it was linked to a UKGC-licensed operator entity trading as Datapool Limited, which held a remote gambling licence from March 2018 until the licence was surrendered. The parent company has since been dissolved.

DATAPOOL LIMITED was a private limited company incorporated on 4 December 2017 and registered at Business Hive in Grimsby. Its SIC classification (62020) places it in the IT consultancy sector, though its connection to the UK gambling industry came through a linked UKGC-licensed operator that held a licence from March 2018 until surrender after nearly eight years. The company is now dissolved, meaning it no longer exists as a legal entity and can't enter new contracts or hold licences.

DATAPOOL LIMITED scores 56 out of 100, earning a grade D. The dissolved status alone eliminates the status score entirely, and the absence of filed accounts within the expected window adds to the low standing. Its age and UK-based ownership structure provide some modest positive indicators, but they don't offset the fundamental concern that the company is no longer active.

For consumers or counterparties who encountered DATAPOOL LIMITED through a gambling product or service, it's worth knowing that the associated operator licence has been surrendered and the company itself has been struck off. Any ongoing concerns should be directed to the UKGC or relevant authorities, as there's no active corporate entity to engage with.

Governance

The company had two directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, appointed at incorporation. Ownership was split between two individuals, with one holding a majority stake of 50 to 75 percent. The governance structure was compact and UK-based, though the dissolved status means these roles are no longer active.
