Overview

Gambling Connection: JVC LEISURE LIMITED holds an active UKGC operating licence, first granted on 17 May 2009, making it a licensed gambling operator in its own right rather than a holding or parent company.

JVC LEISURE LIMITED has been trading as an active private limited company since 27 June 1997, giving it a corporate history of nearly 28 years. It's registered in Essex and classified under SIC code 93210, which covers amusement and recreation activities. That category sits adjacent to gambling rather than squarely within it, but the company's UKGC licence confirms its direct involvement in the regulated gambling market.

The company has achieved a company score of 100 (A+), the highest grade on the Saferwager scale. That reflects a combination of long incorporation history, active filing status, UK-resident directors, transparent individual ownership, and no outstanding charges or compliance gaps. It's the kind of governance record that takes years to build and is uncommon at smaller operators.

With accounts filed within the last five months and confirmation statements up to date, JVC LEISURE LIMITED keeps its Companies House record current. There's nothing in the public record to suggest structural concerns, and the ownership structure is fully disclosed with no corporate or offshore intermediaries.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both UK-resident, who have held their positions since the company's founding or for an extended period. Ownership is split between two individual persons of significant control, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares and voting rights, with no corporate or offshore PSCs in the structure.
