Overview

Gambling Connection: TOPLINE LEISURE SERVICES LIMITED held a UKGC gambling licence that was subsequently surrendered, making it a former licensed gambling operator. It's included in the Saferwager database because of that regulatory history with the UK Gambling Commission.

TOPLINE LEISURE SERVICES LIMITED was a private limited company registered in Carlisle, incorporated on 1 March 1990. It operated in the amusement and recreation sector under SIC code 93290 and built up more than three decades of corporate history before ceasing to trade. The company is now dissolved, meaning it no longer exists as a legal entity and can't enter into contracts or hold licences.

Its overall company score of 61 out of 100 (Grade C) reflects a standard governance record pulled down primarily by the dissolved status, which scores zero on the status component. The age of the company and its UK registration contribute positively, but the absence of recent filings and the dissolution itself weigh heavily on the final grade. Consumers researching any gambling activity connected to this entity should be aware that the company has no standing to operate in the UK market.

The last accounts and confirmation statements on record are now over 18 months old respectively, consistent with a company that wound down its operations before dissolution. TOPLINE LEISURE SERVICES LIMITED should be treated as a historical entity only.

Governance

The company has a small board structure with a single current director who also holds the company secretary role. One person of significant control is recorded with a 25 to 50 per cent ownership stake and the right to appoint and remove directors, indicating a closely held, owner-managed business. Given the dissolved status, these governance details are historical rather than active.
