Overview
Gambling Connection: SKILLJOY LTD is connected to our database through a pending UKGC operator application. It doesn't currently hold a gambling licence and its operator status remains under review.
SKILLJOY LTD was incorporated on 3 November 2025, making it one of the newer companies in our database with just a few months of trading history. It's registered in Coventry under SIC code 32401, which covers the manufacture of games and toys rather than gambling activities directly. The company's link to the regulated gambling sector comes through a pending UKGC operator application filed under the same name.
With a company score of 73 (Grade B), SKILLJOY LTD shows a standard corporate structure for its size and age. Its active status and UK-based ownership are positive indicators, though the very short corporate history naturally limits the overall score. The company has no outstanding charges on record.
Because the linked operator application is still pending, SKILLJOY LTD hasn't yet entered the licensed gambling market. Whether it becomes a licensed operator depends on the UKGC completing its review, which typically takes several months for new applicants.
Governance
SKILLJOY LTD has a single director who is UK-resident, with two individual persons of significant control on record. Both PSCs were notified on incorporation, and ownership is split with one holding 50-75% and the other 25-50%, meaning the entire company is individually owned with no corporate shareholders.
Linked UKGC Operators
No UKGC licensed operators are directly linked to this company. This may indicate the company is a holding entity, service provider, or the operator link has not yet been established.
