Overview

Gambling Connection: RAINBOW CENTRAL CIC holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in May 2024, making it a directly regulated gambling entity rather than a holding company or service provider.

RAINBOW CENTRAL CIC is a Community Interest Company (CIC), a corporate structure designed to operate for the benefit of a community rather than private shareholders. It's incorporated in England and Wales under company number 13122335, with its registered office in the London borough of Wandsworth. The company's SIC code 66300 covers fund management activities, though its UKGC licence places it firmly within the licensed gambling sector.

Despite being a relatively young company, incorporated in January 2021, RAINBOW CENTRAL CIC has built a solid governance record. Its company score of 88 out of 100, graded A, reflects timely compliance filings, a clear ownership structure, and a majority of UK-resident directors. The company received its first gambling licence in May 2024, so its regulated activity is still in its early stages.

The CIC structure is unusual within the gambling industry, where most operators are standard limited companies or PLCs. It suggests the organisation may apply a community-benefit focus to its gambling activities, though the nature of that community purpose would be detailed in its CIC reports filed with the CIC Regulator.

Governance

The company has three current directors. Individual ownership is concentrated, with a single person holding between 75% and 100% of voting rights and the right to appoint and remove directors. Two of the three directors are UK-resident.
