Overview

Gambling Connection: SOVEREIGN GROUP (UK) LIMITED held a UKGC operator licence from April 2010 for over 15 years before it was revoked, making it a former licensed gambling operator in the UK.

SOVEREIGN GROUP (UK) LIMITED was incorporated on 23 March 2007 and has remained an active private limited company for nearly 19 years. Its registered office is in Diss, Norfolk, and it's run as a small, closely held business with a single current director and a clear ownership structure. The company earns a score of 92 (A+) on Saferwager's assessment, driven by its active status, UK residency, transparent individual ownership, and no outstanding charges on record.

Despite the high corporate score, it's worth noting that the company's connected UKGC operator licence was revoked after approximately 15 years of licensing activity starting in April 2010. The company itself remains active at Companies House, but it no longer holds a current gambling licence. Its SIC classification (58110) covers book publishing rather than gambling, which suggests the gambling activity may have sat in a separate regulatory capacity rather than the company's primary registered trade.

Governance

The company has a single current director who is UK-resident and has been in place since incorporation. Ownership is straightforward, with one individual holding between 75% and 100% of shares, voting rights, and the right to appoint and remove directors. There are no corporate PSCs and no PSC exemption statements, making the ownership chain transparent.
