Overview
Gambling Connection: RAVENDIVE LIMITED held a UKGC operator licence under the account name Ravendive Limited from at least January 2009 until the licence was surrendered, covering roughly 17 years of licensed gambling activity in Great Britain.
RAVENDIVE LIMITED was incorporated on 8 November 1991 and operated within the UK gambling sector for over three decades before being dissolved. The company carried SIC code 92000, indicating direct gambling and betting activities rather than a holding or support role. Its current status is dissolved, meaning it's no longer a legal entity and any previous activities have ceased.
The company received a trust score of 60 out of 100, earning a grade of C. That score reflects a long operating history, UK residency of its directors, and a disclosed corporate ownership structure. But the dissolved status drives the score down sharply, and overdue accounts by more than 40 months before dissolution are a clear concern. Consumers researching any connection to RAVENDIVE LIMITED should treat the entity as inactive and approach any claims of current activity with caution.
For most of its life, the company was overseen by a long-serving director who stepped down in 2023, shortly before its licensed operator status was surrendered. The change in leadership in the company's final months, combined with its subsequent dissolution, suggests an orderly wind-down rather than an abrupt failure.
Governance
The company had two UK-resident directors at the time of dissolution, appointed in June 2023 following the departure of a long-standing director who had served since 1991. Ownership at that point was held by a corporate entity, Luxury Leisure, with between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights. There are no individual PSCs currently listed.
