Overview

Gambling Connection: GEM AUTOMATICS LIMITED held a UK Gambling Commission licence under the operator name Gem Automatics Limited, first licensed in November 2011. That licence was subsequently surrendered, and the company has since been dissolved.

GEM AUTOMATICS LIMITED was a private limited company incorporated on 29 November 1990, giving it over three decades of corporate history before it was dissolved. It operated in the gambling and betting sector under SIC code 92000, and its UKGC licence was eventually surrendered before the company's dissolution.

The company's grade C score of 65 out of 100 reflects a mixed picture. Its age and UK registration work in its favour, but the dissolved status pulls the overall score down. Accounts haven't been filed in over two and a half years, and confirmation statements lapsed before dissolution was finalised.

GEM AUTOMATICS LIMITED is no longer an active entity. Consumers shouldn't expect any operational gambling services from this company, and its dissolution means it no longer carries regulatory obligations or accountability under Companies House.

Governance

The company had two current directors at the point of dissolution, both UK residents, alongside a company secretary. Ownership was split between two individuals, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares and voting rights, with both also holding the right to appoint and remove directors. The structure was family-scale with no corporate shareholders.
