Overview

Gambling Connection: WHITE ROSE LEISURE (YORKSHIRE) LIMITED holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted in June 2011, giving it over 14 years of continuous licensed gambling activity in Great Britain.

WHITE ROSE LEISURE (YORKSHIRE) LIMITED is a private limited company incorporated on 21 March 2001, registered in Birstall, West Yorkshire. With nearly 25 years of continuous trading under its belt, it's one of the longer-established independent gambling businesses in the UK. Its SIC classification of 92000 confirms it operates directly in gambling and betting activities, rather than acting as a holding entity.

The company holds an A+ company grade with a score of 98 out of 100, reflecting clean regulatory filings, UK-resident officers, transparent ownership, and no outstanding charges. That's a strong indicator of a well-run operation with consistent compliance habits over a long period. Its accounts and confirmation statements are up to date, which matters for anyone assessing its reliability.

It's a compact, owner-managed business rather than a large corporate group. The governance structure is lean and straightforward, with no corporate PSCs or offshore holding layers in the picture.

Governance

The company has a single current director who has been in post since incorporation in 2001, giving it an unusually long and stable leadership history. Ownership is held by a UK individual with between 75% and 100% of shares, making this a closely held, owner-managed business. There are no corporate PSCs or foreign ownership interests on record.
