Overview

Gambling Connection: JOHNNY'S ENTERTAINMENTS (TYNESIDE) LIMITED holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted on 24 August 2021, confirming it's a regulated gambling operator rather than a holding or service company.

JOHNNY'S ENTERTAINMENTS (TYNESIDE) LIMITED is one of the longer-standing companies in the UK gambling sector, incorporated on 16 January 1973. Its SIC code 93290 covers other amusement and recreation activities, consistent with an operator running physical gaming premises. The company's active status and over 53 years of trading history put it among the most established entities in Saferwager's database.

The company scores 97 out of 100, earning an A+ grade. That reflects its active status, long incorporation history, compliant officer filings, and up-to-date confirmation statements. It's a privately held company with a clear corporate ownership structure and three UK-resident directors currently on the board.

Despite the Tyneside name, the company's registered office is at Pleasureland in Morecambe, suggesting operations that may span multiple sites in the UK amusements and gaming sector.

Governance

The company has three current directors, all British nationals residing in the United Kingdom, giving it a fully UK-resident board. Corporate ownership sits with Corkel Limited, which holds between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights and has the right to appoint and remove directors. That structure has been in place since April 2016.
