Overview
Gambling Connection: MERKUR BINGO UK LIMITED is directly licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and has held that licence continuously since 2009, making it an active gambling operator in the UK market rather than a holding or service entity.
MERKUR BINGO UK LIMITED has been a registered UK company since 30 January 1987, giving it nearly four decades of continuous corporate history. That longevity is reflected in its company score of 92 out of 100 (A+), placing it among the most well-established entities in Saferwager's database.
The company is registered at Milton Keynes and operates as a private limited company. Its SIC code (74990) covers professional and scientific activities, though its primary identity is as an active gambling operator regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Both current directors are UK-resident, which keeps accountability firmly within UK legal jurisdiction.
There are no outstanding charges on the company's record, and filings appear to be in order, with confirmation and accounts submitted within recent months. For a company approaching 40 years of operation, it's a clean corporate picture.
Governance
The company has two current directors, both UK-resident. Ownership sits with a single corporate PSC holding between 75% and 100% of shares, which is a standard structure for a subsidiary within a larger gambling group. There are no individual PSC holders registered.
