Overview

Gambling Connection: SCOTTISH SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS has held an active UKGC licence since 26 March 2009, a period of nearly 17 years. The licence supports charitable lottery and fundraising activity rather than commercial gambling.

SCOTTISH SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Scotland under number SC201401 since 8 November 1999. This structure is typical of charities and non-profit organisations, where members guarantee a nominal amount rather than holding shares. Its SIC code, 94990, covers activities of other membership organisations, reflecting its charitable rather than commercial status.

The organisation scores 97 out of 100, earning an A+ grade on Saferwager's company assessment. That score reflects its long incorporation history of over 26 years, active status, a large board of UK-resident directors, and a PSC exemption in line with its charitable structure. There are no outstanding charges and confirmation statements are current.

It's worth noting that the gambling licence isn't the charity's core purpose. It sits alongside the organisation's broader animal welfare activities as a legal mechanism for running prize-based fundraising. That context explains the gap between its industry classification and its presence in UKGC records.

Governance

The organisation has 12 current directors, all UK-resident, and a company secretary. No individual or entity holds significant control, which is standard for charitable bodies and reflected in its PSC exemption statement filed in November 2016. The board composition is large relative to most commercial operators in this database, suggesting active governance oversight.
