Overview
Gambling Connection: MAC AUTOMATICS LIMITED held a connection to a UKGC-licensed operator of the same name, which first received a licence in November 2010. That operator licence has since been surrendered, consistent with the company's dissolved status.
MAC AUTOMATICS LIMITED was incorporated on 14 September 1961, making it one of the older companies to appear in our database. The company's SIC code 93290 covers other amusement and recreation activities, consistent with a business involved in gaming machines or amusements. Despite its long history, MAC AUTOMATICS LIMITED has been dissolved and is no longer a trading or active entity.
The company's dissolution is reflected in its company score of 48 out of 100, grade F. Dissolved status alone wipes out the status score entirely, and the absence of any current PSC records further reduces the overall rating. Its registration address, care of Clarke Bell Limited in Manchester, points to a formal insolvency process having been involved in the wind-down.
Consumers researching any gambling activity historically connected to MAC AUTOMATICS LIMITED should be aware that the company can't be contacted, held to account, or engaged with in any commercial capacity. Its associated operator licence has also been surrendered.
Governance
At the point of dissolution, MAC AUTOMATICS LIMITED had two current directors, both UK-based and both appointed in February 2021. No current PSC records exist, and all previously listed persons with significant control have historical registrations only. The lack of active ownership data is a concern for transparency.
