Overview

Gambling Connection: FORTH AMUSEMENTS LIMITED appears in the Saferwager database because it holds an active UK Gambling Commission operator licence, first issued in June 2011 and still current after nearly 15 years of continuous licensing.

FORTH AMUSEMENTS LIMITED is a long-established Scottish private limited company, incorporated in November 1990 and still in active status today. With over three decades of continuous operation, it's a rare example of genuine longevity in a sector where many companies come and go. That history contributes to its strong company score of 88 out of 100, placing it in the A grade band.

The company is UK-registered with its office in East Lothian, and its sole current director is also UK-based. Ownership sits with a single individual holding between 75% and 100% of shares, making this a closely held, owner-managed business rather than a corporate group structure. That kind of direct accountability is reflected in the score's governance indicators.

Its SIC code (77291) covers the rental and leasing of other personal and household goods, though FORTH AMUSEMENTS LIMITED maintains an active UKGC licence and has done so for nearly 15 years. The company hasn't been subject to any enforcement action, and its compliance record is clean.

Governance

The company has a compact board, with one current director and one current secretary. Ownership is concentrated with a single individual PSC holding between 75% and 100% of shares, making this a tightly controlled owner-managed business. All current officers are UK-based.
