Concerns

Overview

Gambling Connection: OCTOPUS GLOBAL LTD is linked to a UKGC operating licence in the name of Octopus Global Ltd, first issued on 9 December 2025. This makes it a very new entrant to the licensed UK gambling market.

OCTOPUS GLOBAL LTD was incorporated on 13 June 2022 and is registered at Camburgh House, Canterbury. It operates as a private limited company under SIC code 58290, which covers software publishing and related activities. Despite not being flagged as directly gambling-related by its SIC classification, it's now a UKGC-licensed operator as of late 2025.

With a company score of 90 (A+), OCTOPUS GLOBAL LTD sits among the higher-rated companies in the Saferwager database. All five current directors are UK-resident British nationals, which contributes to its strong governance score. The company has no outstanding charges and filed its most recent confirmation statement within the last four months.

One thing that stands out is the PSC position. Companies House records show a declaration that there is no individual or entity with significant control, an exemption that applies in specific circumstances and means beneficial ownership can't be directly traced through the register. The company has been active for under four years, so its track record is still relatively short.

Governance

The board comprises five current directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom and all appointed at the company's incorporation in June 2022. A sixth director, an American national, served briefly between October 2024 and March 2025 before resigning. The company has declared no individual or entity with significant control under the PSC exemption notified on 13 June 2022.
