Overview

Gambling Connection: GAMESYS LIMITED holds a UKGC operating licence through its linked operator entity, Gamesys Limited, which has been continuously licensed since January 2009. This makes it a direct participant in the regulated UK online gambling market with over 17 years of licensing history.

GAMESYS LIMITED is a private limited company that has been active since 28 July 2000, giving it over 25 years of corporate history in the UK. Its registered office sits at Colegrave House in London (W1T 3NL), and it's classified under SIC code 62011, covering custom software development and IT activities. Despite not being flagged as gambling-related by SIC classification alone, its connection to the industry runs deep through a linked UKGC operating licence held continuously since 2009.

The company's governance profile is strong. It holds an A+ company score of 94 out of 100, reflecting its active status, UK registration, confirmed ownership structure, and a board with multiple UK-resident directors. Accounts were filed within the last 14 months and confirmation statements are current, both signs of a well-maintained corporate entity.

Since May 2023, the company has been majority-owned by Bally's Corporation, which holds between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights. That change in ultimate ownership marked a shift from its earlier parent structure under the Gamesys group, reflecting the broader consolidation that's taken place across the online gambling sector in recent years.

Governance

GAMESYS LIMITED currently has four active directors, three of whom are UK-resident. The board saw several changes in 2024 and 2025, with three directors appointed in that period. Ultimate ownership sits with Bally's Corporation, a US-listed company, which has held majority control since May 2023. The ownership structure is transparent and registered at Companies House.
