Overview
Gambling Connection: MERKUR TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIMITED holds an active UKGC operating licence, first issued in 2009, placing it directly within the regulatory framework that governs licensed gambling in Great Britain. It functions as a technical support entity within the Merkur casino group's UK operations.
MERKUR TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIMITED was incorporated on 16 March 2006 and has maintained active status ever since, making it one of the longer-standing corporate entities connected to the UK gambling industry. Its SIC classification covers engineering activities, which reflects its support function rather than direct consumer-facing gambling operations. But it's clearly embedded within the gambling sector: the company has held a UKGC operating licence since 2009.
With a company score of 90 (A+), MERKUR TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIMITED sits in the top tier of companies in this database. Both current directors are UK-resident, the company files accounts and confirmations on time, and there's a clear, registered ownership structure. That combination of longevity and governance discipline is what drives the high score.
The company's registered office is in Milton Keynes, where it has operated as part of the broader Merkur group's UK corporate structure. Its role as a technical support entity within a casino group means it operates in the background, supporting licensed gambling activity rather than running customer-facing products directly.
Governance
The company currently has two directors, both UK-resident, providing straightforward domestic oversight. Ownership sits with a single corporate PSC holding 75-100% of shares and voting rights, with the right to appoint and remove directors. This is a clean, concentrated ownership structure typical of a subsidiary within a larger group.
