- Grade D company score (56/100) driven by dissolved status
Overview
Gambling Connection: SAFERWAGER LTD is in the Saferwager database because it was the registered corporate entity behind a UKGC-licensed gambling operator of the same name, with that licence having been active from March 2022 until it was surrendered.
SAFERWAGER LTD was incorporated on 16 May 2019 as a private limited company registered in Bingley, West Yorkshire. Its SIC code (62011) classifies it as a custom software development business rather than a direct gambling operator, though it had a connection to a UK Gambling Commission licensed entity under the same name. The company is now dissolved, and that status is the defining fact of its corporate record.
With a company score of 56 out of 100 and a grade of D, SAFERWAGER LTD scores poorly, driven mainly by its dissolved status which wipes out the compliance and status components of the score entirely. The age score and director scores add modest points, but the overall picture is one of limited corporate substance. Its accounts haven't been filed in well over two years, another indicator that the company had ceased active operations before formal dissolution.
Consumers researching any gambling products previously associated with this name should be aware that the company is no longer a legal entity. The linked gambling licence has been surrendered, meaning no regulated activity can lawfully continue under this corporate structure.
Governance
SAFERWAGER LTD had two directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The ownership structure was concentrated, with a single individual holding between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights. While UK residency and individual ownership are generally positive indicators, the company's dissolution renders those governance signals largely historical.
Linked UKGC Operators
