Overview
Gambling Connection: JPS GAMING AND LEISURE LIMITED held a UK Gambling Commission operator licence, first issued on 17 February 2025, which was subsequently surrendered. It's in this database as a formerly licensed gambling operator.
JPS GAMING AND LEISURE LIMITED was incorporated on 6 March 2023 and is registered at Manor House in Chorley, Lancashire. Despite its SIC classification covering equipment rental and leasing, the company entered the regulated gambling sector and obtained a UKGC licence before surrendering it in early 2025 after less than a year of active licensing.
The company's score of 86 (Grade A) reflects a well-run structure for its age. Both directors are UK residents, ownership is fully disclosed through two individual PSCs, and the company has no outstanding charges or known compliance failures. That's a clean profile for a company barely two years old.
JPS GAMING AND LEISURE LIMITED is a small, privately held business with a straightforward two-director setup. The surrendered licence raises questions about its future direction in gambling, but its corporate filing record remains in good standing.
Governance
The company has two directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom, appointed at incorporation. Ownership is split between two individual PSCs, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares and voting rights, with both also holding the right to appoint and remove directors.
