Overview

Gambling Connection: SAMUEL BLACK LIMITED holds an active UKGC operator licence, classifying it as a direct participant in the regulated UK gambling market. Its SIC code 92000 confirms gambling and betting activities as its primary business.

SAMUEL BLACK LIMITED is a UK-registered gambling company that has operated under a UKGC licence for over eleven years. Incorporated in November 2014 under SIC code 92000 (gambling and betting activities), it's been an active presence in the regulated sector since early 2015. A company score of 91 (A+) puts it among the stronger-rated entities in the database.

The company's high score reflects several positive factors: active status, UK-registered and UK-resident directors, transparent individual ownership with no corporate intermediaries, and a clean compliance record. It's a privately held limited company with a straightforward structure, which keeps its governance profile clear and accountable.

With no outstanding charges and confirmation filings kept up to date, SAMUEL BLACK LIMITED has maintained the kind of consistent housekeeping that typically signals a well-run operation. Its longevity in the sector, with over a decade of continuous licensing, adds further weight to that assessment.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. Ownership is split between two individual shareholders, each holding between 25% and 50% of shares, with no corporate PSCs in the structure. This keeps the ownership chain short and traceable to named UK individuals.
